Ken, I have a PSC 2510 which all went swimmingly on Ubuntu Hoary, though mine has Ethernet. If you haven't already done so have a look at the good doco at http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php
There are support forum links from that site as well which might give be able to give more direct help if you still have no joy. (Sorry I'm not a printer guy so I don't' have any special cluesticks in this regard, it all just worked for me) Martin Visser, CISSP Network and Security Consultant Consulting & Integration Technology Solutions Group - HP Services 410 Concord Road Rhodes NSW 2138 Australia Mobile: +61-411-254-513 Fax: +61-2-9022-1800 E-mail: martin.visserAThp.com This email (including any attachments) is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary or privileged.
