I took a non-supported printer and hooked it up to a Netgear PS121 print server I picked up on ebay. The PS121 is a little box with a USB plug on one side and an RJ45 on the other. In system-config-printer it looks like a networked Unix LPD printer. I had to load a special LPD driver to use it on a windows box, but it worked correctly with my FC4 box once I figure out that the queue name was P1. I like this solution as the printer is network available without having to make sure that the correct machine is powered up. Bob Styma
