The printer is an HP LaserJet 3200, which is connected directly to a wireless router, the router acting as the print server. I've read lots of articles about Samba, CUPS etc, but I don't know which one I should be using and how to set it up. Hope someone can help. Thanks

Set the router to give the printer a static (permanent) IP address. Then set up CUPS to connect to that address as a network printer. __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.
