I'll just mention my recent Just-Works anecdote regarding printing. I have set up an Ubuntu install for my computer-averse 70 yo mother. Mostly it's been sitting unused. She lives across town. She needs a document printed. I haven't set up printing on the thing. Printer has been sitting unused, unpowered for 6 months, minimum. I plug it in to the USB port and power, start up Open Office, load the document, click the print icon, pause ... whir-whir, printed document comes out. No muss, no fuss. I was kind of impressed. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
