Glad to hear that it was detected and worked out of the box. I would
like to place one caveat on Ghee's note. The network attached printer
discovery currently only supports SNMP, so if your network attached
printer supports SNMP, it will be detected. A couple of months ago, I
saw a new network attachable HP printer (the model escapes me for the
moment) that supported mDNS, but not SNMP. As a result, we don't
current auto-detect this type of printer on the network.
