You should be fine since your other printer is a parallel port=20 printer. The HPLIP port doesn't configure parallel port printers so=20 just use the normal CUPS configuration. There are some issues with=20 the PSC printers and getting attached as umass devices. Search the=20 archives for more info. Basically a real solution for the umass=20 issue won't appear until the HPS USB stack grows "generic device=20 access for already claimed usb devices" support sometime next year. =2D-=20 Anish Mistry amistry@am-productions.biz AM Productions http://am-productions.biz/ --nextPart7332509.Chg53pF0bM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHWa4rxqA5ziudZT0RAlygAJ90QbvqlnsbS9zHIgdEf9pyQQdjBgCfZR3M dJju7xmjt3IaKDKcO+okErM= =Oh4K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart7332509.Chg53pF0bM--
