Some (but not all) HP DeskJets are Windows only (host based) printers. They don't work for the same reason winmodems don't work in Linux. If it is supported by linux, things are looking up. Install apsfilter or magicfilter to help you set up filters for printing to your printer. Want the bad news now? You can't print to a printer shared by a windows box (to the best of my knowelege anyway...) via lpr. If your printer is supported by linux, connect it to your linux box and use samba to share it to windows. Actually, you can share a printer from windows to a linux machine if you have Win2K server, I have yet to try this myself (and don't really want to anyway.) -- Andrew S.
