Then, in the printer configuration dialog, right click on the printer; there is a checkbox for shared. His wife is running Ubuntu 6.06LTS (for some good business reasons, althought I'm going to upgrade her to CentOS 6 when that's out; she is, uh, kainotophobic, so a long-term supported release is a must for her and if there's going to be change, let's do it once; she can handle it once every five years). Both the Ubuntu 6.06 box and the F13 box are ethernet connected to their DSL router. In any case, he had bought a new Epson RX580 a while back, and had a hard time finding the USB 'B' port (the RX580 has an 'A' port in plain sight, and he wanted a 'USB crossover' cable to use that port....the USB 'B' port is located under the top cover that you raise to change the ink.....). So, when I found the B port for him (and showed him where it was in the manual), we plugged it in. His F13 box found the printer, configured the drivers, offered to print a test page, and 'Just Worked' without either of us having to go into the printer configurator. About thirty seconds later the Epson RX580 showed up on his wife's Ubuntu 6.06LTS printing dialogs; a test page from her later and I had two happy campers. This is the way printing is supposed to work. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
