Dual-boot Edbuntu 8.10 LTSP and Windows XP. I print well from inside
Windows but in Ubuntu the hasn't been set up yet. Yet I know Open
Office recognizes the printer because it is listed together with
print-to-PDF in a window in the Open Office print command. I assume
that is because I made sure the printer was connected and switched on
when I installed Edubuntu.

But Linux itself seems not to recognize the printer. There is probably
a simple answer for this, I'm just missing it.

It needs to have the printer properly installed in the os so it can be
written to. Some printers are just a pita to get going my canon pixma ip1200
being one of them if I put it on a windows machine and network to it I can
sort of use it, however I have had no luck with it directly connected to the
linux machine.

properly. Lists mine as a paperweight
