Do you have CUPS installed? CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) Is available from HP-Lip and does support more than a few non HP printers. You might be able to run a windows driver using WINE

I went ahead and installed CUPS, but not having any luck. I will try running "WINE" after work. Thanks for the info...I am new at this..."Ubuntu" so far I find it way faster than Vista.

I tried hunting for a linux driver for you and got as far as the above link. i didn't know enough about your printer to be able to select one of the above but there is a list there from the Cups website.

Good luck and happy hunting :)

If you are still having trouble with this then please post it as a new question. Only the most recent questions tend to get looked at so posting/re-posting a question just before america arrives online after work/school gives the best chance of getting a good few answers - such is the nature of the internet.

If the problem has been resolved then please follow the link to the forum thread and mark it as Solved but please give us a clue how you did manage to solve it and also use the button under where you type stuff in rather than giving me karma credit points for just sending this note to you.

Apologies, good luck and many regards from
Tom :)
