[CVALE] Printing on Linux

[Landon Blake]

Patrick,

I might have to provide more details when I can look at the computer at
home. I do believe that I am using a CUPS driver, because I remember
seeing CUPS as part of the printer name when I choose a printer to use.

I know that I just plugged the printer into the USB port and it worked!
(I don't have that happen very often when I am using Linux.) :]

I'll try to send more information tomorrow.

Thanks for the help.

Landon

Not enough info. CUPS? Which specific driver did you use?
