IOGear print server

[Stuart Biggerstaff]

A few months ago, my boss totally couldn't get printing to a USR print
server and a LaserJet 2200 working in some iteration of Fedora.  Using
Mepis on my PC on the other hand printing to the same thing had just
worked, so I was a little surprised at his problems.  Ultimately, we
wound up switching printers for a similar one that had a HP print
server, and that one worked perfectly with both PCs.

You might see if Mepis or SLAX run from CD will let you successfully
print.  And if it works check out what's different from what it wants to
do versus what Suse does.

Thanks, Art. I 've googled and still have no luck so far. Still have to
print directly via USB. 

My son who uses my multiboot notebook recently switched to Linux and now
he has to boot to Windows to be able to print to the printer remotely.
