[vox-tech] CUPS printing

[Jonathan Stickel]

I am no expert, but I have had a lot of success printing with CUPS in 
RH8.  How did you set your printer up?  I used the web interface by 
directing my browser to:

http://localhost:631/

I print over my department's network to HP JetDirect printers, which I 
know is different from what you have.  An important step is selecting 
the correct driver, I think.  Try looking around here for more information:
