Hi, from my experience, the installer simplifies the setup greatly.
However, I cannot report how it works on a freshly default installed system, since I used the previous versions on my systems. So, quite naturally, any dependencies have been met. I slightly disagree on Alan's view. Imho Hplip is by far the best solution to make (nearly) anything possible that is possible on Windows. The fact that the install takes longer sometimes is due to the sometimes very complex nature of Linux and it is also complicated by the diverse landscape of having dozens of different Linux flavours available. And the very good documentation alongside with the great support on this list really make the installation very simple, most of the time. All in all, I would say, that you did indeed a great job, even better, when you take the rather hostile environment into the calculation. regards Eberhard On Mon, 25 Sep 2006 15:36:36 -0700 Aaron Albright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Alan, > > Are you using HPLIP 1.6.9?
