It took me something like 3 hours to get my printer installed under windows. It's an HP Deskjet, and I had the driver disk, but the ***** would *not* install. Eventually I worked out that it would not install because it was on a USB hub. Once I connected it directly to the box, it worked. Now how was I supposed to know that? There were no error messages - it just said there was no USB printer. And they call this user-friendly? The same printer installed perfectly under Mandrake, and serves two other boxes on the LAN, just by editing one single printerserver line in CUPS configuration. Guess which I prefer?
