It gives me that port list that does not have my >printer listed. Tried create a new port; got lost in the questions. I can offer suggestions for network connection only because I have no experience printing via USB. Usually the Ubuntu Add printer GUI will find the printer on the network, although it is slower than the second coming. I've had it take up to five minutes, so give it lots of time to find the printer on your network. And, of course, be sure the printer is turned on and actually connected to the network. Also, there is usually a place in the printer's menu to set the printer's IP address, which I strongly recommend. Once you have set its IP address you can verify that it's really connected with a simple ping. And a simple suggestion, write its IP address on a slip of paper and tape it to somewhere obvious on the printer. With its address set in the printer your router will always give it that address. And speaking of its IP address, nothing is going to find the printer if its IP address points to the wrong network, another reason for setting its IP address manually. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
