I am guessing that you connected the printer to the Windows machine and that you want to print from Ubuntu. Does the printer have an Ethernet port? If it has an IP address see if it runs LPD. $ nc -v <printer-ip> 515 As you say that it is a USB printer I wonder how to print from Linux. I have no experience dealing with such printers. I have always been able to print from UNIX using LPRng and a2ps. -Girish _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
