That's what I've already done, except for udev I have all the packages installed already. CUPS printing works with another printer attached to the serial port. lsusb doesn't list any external device, just Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 From what you wrote I got the understanding that the KDE Printer Wizard would have found the printer if the device had been there. Is that correct? Michael -- Michael Schuerig Most people would rather die than think. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] In fact, they do. http://www.schuerig.de/michael/ --Bertrand Russell
