Just wanted to let you know that installing Unix Print Services worked!
I almost fell off my chair when my Linux laptop started to print to my HP
printer across my network. Only took me 3 weeks to figure out but it's
working now. I would recommend this solution for anyone who wants to print
thru the network. Real easy.
I do have another issue. Seems that I can only print using a web applicatoin
like mozilla. When I try to print using anything else, example: K Write, the
application crashes. Wondering if anyone knows why I can't print using a
standard work processing application and can only print using a web interface
like Mozilla.
