Re: [LUG] USB Printers....

[James Wenger <james@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Neil,

Not tried scanning but I have had an Epson 2500 hanging off the usb 
ports on a RH7.1 box for a while. Printing was just a case of plugging 
it in. The correct printer module bindings etc were auto loaded. I then 
just needed to do the ususal (in RH) printtool stuff and tell it the 
printer was on /dev/usb/lp0

Sorry cant help about scanning, never tried it.
