I have used Ubuntu from the very first version and, over the years, I have installed many and various printers with various operating systems but never, ever, have I had an experience like that which I had today. The printer in question is a HP LaserJet 1505n, it was unpacked, set up and connected to the power supply and the router and switched on. Using Ubuntu 9.10 I did System -> Administration -> Printing, selected server, New, Printer and sat back. The printer was recognised and installed as a network printer without any further intervention by myself. I now have to set up some other machines in the wireless network including one running WinXP I expect this will be somewhat more complicated.
