Re: [qubes-users] Re: USB Printer

[taii...@gmx.com]

For future reference I suggest to all to obtain a network printer that
supports open command languages for printing such as PS/PCL so that you
don't need to rely on USB junk that requires non-free firmware and or
will eventually break due to no driver updates for new distros.

...as an FYI I did have to add my drivers as they were not included, I 
downloaded my drivers in a DVM, moved the driver to my templates DeskTop and 
then did the following to install them:

su
cd Desktop
sh "driver file"

I was then prompted with a long list of commands in terminal that are likely 
different depending on your printer.

The USB vs Network is something I can't speak to...

Thanks, but it sounds like your printer has networking capability.  I suspect 
that alone would solve the issue.  Being a USB printer, without a built in 
driver already part of the basic distro... it requires more.
