It showed up as an HPLIP device when installing, w/ CUPS and/or the kde printer utility. NOtably the utility OR the localhost:631 interface did not show any option for a USB printer. The address that ended up being used was a usb:. When I get gentoo booted up I'll look at it again. For now, I have to print, so I've installed Ubuntu on another partition. Printing works fine there, so that's a start. Thank you, Alan On Jan 7, 2008 2:48 AM, Mick wrote: > On Sunday 06 January 2008, Dale wrote: > > Alan E.
