Re: Debian Printing Again



Hello,
This will be the first time I have installed a printer on the machine.
I ran Modconf and didnt see anything for a printer. All I see is
Ipv4 and net drivers. What am I doing wrong ? I am running potato
but I dont think that should make a difference.
Thanks

It feels so good, It's a marginal risk, when I clear off windows with fdisk
