Hi !
Thank you very much for your email. The bad thing about your suggestion is
that I have absoluetly no clue of C programming (yaya, I know, a fatal
mistake). As it seems I have to wait til someone codes a driver or if HP
thinks about their narrow minded point of view, maybe the will make one. I
will keep on bitching to them, hehe.
But to make things printable, I have one (silly) question that is somehow
related to this topic. If I use a W95 as printer server does it then matter
what kind of printer it is ?
Yet I have no clue about Linux networking at all, but that will be the
next project.
Greez and please hack the planet for me - coz I can't do it ! ;)
