As John says, if you have Samba running on your Linux PC and sharing this printer, it is fairly easy to print to from your Windows box. You still need the Windows driver from hp.com (download the printer driver only file). If you are running XP, select network printer, select Connect to this printer and type in \\linuxhost\printerqueue on the Specify a Printer page. Complete the driver installation. Raghu

Connect the printer directly to the windows box 2. Install only what you need, leaving out all the "crap" that you mentioned. 3. Make it print directly from Windows without getting complaints of "driver not correctly installed". 4. Reconnect the printer to the Linux box 5. Change the printer interface on the windows box from usb to network, preferably to ipp (I am assuming that you are working with XP or 2000). There is an abundance of information on windows ipp printing to a shared cups printer on the internet. regards Eberhard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys.
