Just wanted to relay this experience to y'all as it made me so warm and fuzzy inside...
Mate of mine gave me an HP Deskjet 656c USB printer in lieu of some work that got done for him...SO, being that the wife-unit already has a Canon BJC-265SP on her boxen, and I've got a useless LexMark dj 5000 sitting and collecting dust and Christmas beetles, and I HATE printing via Samba to her boxen, I just plugged in the little USB plug, put some paper in the nice new printer, checked the new ink carts, powered on the little bugger...listened to the nice whirs and clicks, fired up Webmin, went to hardware, chose printers, added the printer pretty-as-you-please, saved the configuration, then fired up the KDE Control Panel, went to SYSTEM \ PRINTER ADMINISTRATION, set the newly setup printer as USER DEFAULT, clicked TEST PRINTER and WHAM! Printing! - all told - 3 minutes. No disks, drivers, swearing and cursing, consulting cryptic usenet groups - nada. Shit - WindowsXP/2k have never been THAT nice... -- Fri Jan 10 15:45:00 EST 2003 3:45pm up 1 day, 5:27, 5 users, load average: 0.80, 0.82, 0.54 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ * linux user:267497 * RH 7.3+ * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Without facts, the decision cannot be made logically.
