The only pronter I've been able to get to work with Debian is a networked HP printer. CUPS seems to be able to find things on my LAN, given the IP nomber. My Epson 777 priter is all properly configures, but when I print to it, nothing happens except that after a while CUPS thinks it has been printed. -- hendrik > > Jim. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
