It's a HP Deskjet 5550 connected via USB. I've heard about lpd and cups, but don't know which one to use or what the difference is. So can anyone guide a Windows user to an easy howto? Btw I got cups to find the printer, but it's only working in raw format, so I can't really use it. Best regards David Telyas
