Which is wrong, all you need is a printer, that is _supported_. > Please where is the problem? The LaserJet 1018 uses another protocol, so you need aditional software. Take a look at these sites: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_1018 http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ Before buying the next printer, see whether or not it is supported by Cups http://www.cups.org/ppd.php . Same goes for your students.
