It's zeroconf / ippanywhere; and honestly it's pretty garbage (even over network). It's been a while since I've done USB printers, but I *THINK* you can still setup two different definitions that ultimately point via the real driver -- so you can have L2640_A4 and L2640_LTR, and not have to deal with the zeroconf pseudo-printer. -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: DDAB 23FB 19FA 7D85 1CC1 E067 6D65 70E5 4CE7 2860
