Installing USB printer.

[Carl Parrish]

Oh yeah I ended up taking my Lexmark back. Couldn't get it to print any
pictures only plain text. I got an HP Deskjet 5550 instead. Much faster
very high quality pictures and an opensource driver (made by HP no less)
the only thing it didn't have was a ethernet connection so I could plug
it into my hub. but since all my computers are Linux I can get around
that. thanks for the advise I'll try it now.
