I thouht of a more generic setup, like a tunnel or "simulated" usb channel from the laptop through the network to the usb device on the slug. What I'm thinking of is aprogram, that sort of forwards the usb signal over the network and that enables me to access any usb device on the slug via the network as if it were connected to the laptop itself. The printer would then show up on the laptop as if it were connected straight ot it, so would other usb devices with no support for linux (eg. sport watch).
In the meantime I found the program "USB Over Ethernet", a linux version is promised for this year (http://www.fabulatech.com/forum/board-usbovernetwork-action-display-num-818 52648.html) There is also [EMAIL PROTECTED], but this seems to be windows only. -----Original Message----- From: Sam Reed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Montag, 23.

Hi! Is there a program that enables me to asccess a printer that is connected to the debian slug from my laptop (both mac and win) with a network connection to the slug as if it were connected to a usb-port of the laptop? That would mean I could use the mac/win driver for that printer. Cheers Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
