Hi, I have an old model Epson C20UX USB Printer and I usually print in my Windows OS(dual boot) using that printer. For long, I did not bother to read the section in the handbook(setting up printer) because as I have said earlier.. I print my MSWord document in Windows.. But now that I have deleted my Windows partition and I'm only running FreeBSD alone, I did a quick skimming in the Setting Up Printer section of the handbook and I have found out that, like the modem installation, freebsd only supports printer connected to serial or parallel ports.. Now I have a big problem.. I can only think of two things, either repartition my entire pc, and of course.. the worst.. buy a new parallel/serial printer.. Any idea what should I do??? Thanks, -jay =( __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - Send 10MB messages! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
