Instead it should connect to the router via wireless, or connect it directly to the router via ethernet. Getting the printer to talk to the router is Operating System independent so it should be covered in your printer manual. After you get that part configured then you can configure the laptop to print to the printer. Here are instructions for a slightly earlier model, the 2170W that _might_ also work for the 2270DW http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-904447.html Bill _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
