[aclug-L] Re: Suggestions?

[Ryan Hunt <ryan@xxxxxxxx>]

Im running CUPS on nayr.net and it was by far the easiest to setup and 
the webadmin feature helps..

The #1 Linux printing resource is http://www.linuxprinting.org/ on this 
website you can find turtorials, drivers, and step by step install 
instructions for numerous printing deamons with almost every printer 
cataloged...

Since I had to check the .org extntion on the linuxprinting url i went 
ahead and looked up your printer.. you can go directly there by visiting

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=479986

Hope this helps,

-Ryan
