plug points and the fact that you won't get access to some of the extra
features of the printer - ink levels, etc..
That said, my current printer has just lost the ability to provide me with ink
level information anyway as the Windows 7 driver only does printing and nothing
else - I guess I should be thankful it works at all! I must get the Linux boot
working so I can use all my hardware without problems :)
Cool, I'll have a look and see what I can find. I had a brief look last
night and printers with wifi built in seem to be around the £100 mark
and I don't know if this organisation can afford that (they're a
non-profit). I guess if all else fails I'll have to get them to plug a
standard printer in via USB to one of the laptops and have it share over
wireless to the other one.
