Just return the damn thing and get a network printer. This one is even cheaper than the HP you bought which doesn't work. Only $90 at Newegg. Has 10/100 and wireless ethernet print server built in: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16828113545 Drivers for Windows, Mac, and Linux. As with everything "READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST" before you stick a CD in a drive. :) You should be able to set the thing up simply by pointing your browser at the IP address of the printer. Then, install the drivers on the PC(s). -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
