 |
|
i feel liek an idiot here...
ive looked in the documentation, and i cant find anything about the web interface other than its 'easy to use'
on the first page of setting up a new printer, what does 'location' mean?
why are there more than 10 different entries to select a driver in the 'select a driver' list box? does it matter which one i pick?

Location probably means address. As in, where to find the printer on the network.
I've had a lot of success with KDE's Printing Setup. Try that or QT-Cups. Easy to use interface.
Drivers are important. Try to match the driver to the printer. If you need more, try the package gimp-print-cups. |

IIRC, Location says where to find the printer in the building.
