Wes, Not here. I never got around to checking it out after buying it from someone on Craig's List. Yesterday I saw the imager light come on when I powered it up so I took it to Portland Printer Place and they replaced the imager for me. > Assuming this is a new setup: > note the line: > >> Connection: lpd://salmo/var/spool/cups I couldn't make sense of this line, either. > In my experience, USB is a less than ideal method to communicate with a > printer. I much prefer Ethernet whenever possible. The printer has a parallel port and it looks like the HP external JetDirect 300x will work on this. It takes an ethernet input and converts it to the parallel port on the printer. I can order one today if that's what you think will work. I had an internal JetDirect card in the HP 2500C inkjet printer, but gave that to Free Geek when I gave away the printer. There's also a JetDirect card I installed in the LJ 5 so I know the network can see these nodes. Should I order the 300x?
