 Hi all
 
 Does anyone know if the following Print Server(s) works 'out of the box' 
 or easily with Ubuntu 9.04 please.
 
 Edimax PS 3207U or PS 1206P.


Well, I have a couple of Edimax 1203's (single parallel out). Looking 
back at my notes (2004) the Web interface needed a mystery password and 
I ending up installing the Windows tool supplied to set this. 
Thereafter, everything works through Web interface. It supports lpr 
spools and we've been using two of these with Linux machines ever since. 
  One runs an HP LJ6P.  So it's a matter of deciding how relevant this 
is to a 1206 (password wrinkle is probably long sorted), but I'd expect 
it to work no problem with an HP LJ5P. Don't know anything about the 
scanner situation though.


Cheers

 I am trying to connect both my HPLJ 5P laser printer (parallel) and the 
 Canon Colour i950 printer (USB) to the ADSL Router so that both laptops 
 and desk PC can have access (mixed Linux/XP systems).
 I also have a HP PSC 1317 (USB) multi function inkjet which it would be 
 nice to have connected occasionally.
 
 I believe the PS 3207U has 1=parallel and 2 USB inputs with ethernet output.
 
 Could I also connect my Canon Lide 50 scanner to this (PS 3207U)? Would 
 it work?
 
 Any comments would be appreciated please.

Thanks Tim  Terry for the info, I'm guessing it will all be OK so may 
get the 3 port version when I next go to Portsmouth. The in makers info 
it said Linux was supported but not which versions.

There are several other bits of info which I'll ask about at 
Wednesday's meet, just to get my head around things.

But before all that got to sort out why Thunderbird has stopped getting 
e-mail on the XP Desktop PC; think it's a firewall problem as that was 
updated just before this happened.

In fact it looks very unlikely that I'll be able to make it.  I've now got to 
go to Lincolnshire tomorrow and don't expect to be back until Wednesday 
evening.

I should be along, hopefully with Diccon in tow and maybe a few BUNIX  
folks if I can call them to action.
