HP Designjet 500 (42") is supported on Linux. You can print to it using Ghostscript drivers. However, this printer only comes with USB 1.1 and parallel port interfaces. Would you be able to connect your computer to this printer directly via USB to see if it works? If that doesn't work, you may have to print it out as PDF or some other format and then send that file to the XP machine and print from there. I have read somewhere that this printer does give issues with SAMBA. Regards, Prem _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
