Directly to the device or through > the WIndows shared printer Not sure how to answer this :-( The printer connection is to /var/run/cups/cups.sock. There are Server Settings but I have no idea whether I need to set these up; LMDE is the host and if Windows 2000 is running under Virtual Box LMDE does not appear to have printing capabilities - Windows has seized control. As I only use Windows for one purpose - to run a genealogy program - it is not a major for me to quit Windows if I happen to be running it when I want to print from LMDE. However, it would be satisfying to know why?
