Visit your friend and set up access to this list, via gmane (http://post.gmane.org/) Then show him how to post and find a netiquette document, gentoo style. Then as he posts you or the rest of the list can help him. Sounds like he is going to need lots of help...? For example, I just type int he IP adress on a web browser and my printer appears (non routed address. If he has HP printers, he'll most likely want hplip to go with cups. cups has to be setup to access the printer by IP address. Bottom line, HE needs to start talking to this group, directly. Don't be shy, the water is just fine .... James
