First, my organization frowns on private hubs, since they'd rather charge us for a separate jack for every networked device. Second, if the hub goes down (e.g. a power outage) and the printer gets assigned a new IP, then I have to redefine the printer URL, which is somewhat annoying on the XP end. So I thought a direct USB CUPS printer would be better all around. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
