<font face="Cortoba">That sounds weird that it won't print OO docs
Boden, my HP's have always printed any type of document. Do you
have hp-lip installed?</font><br>
<br>
Rather than wait for the mods, here is what I posted earlier:<br>
<br>
I only use HP printers because I find they have the best support for
Linux and a system tray app that works well. I have been using
Ubuntu for about 7 years and HP printers (wireless and cabled) for
about 5 of those without any hassles (I threw out the Epson and
Canon printers because they just didn't play as well). <br>
<br>
The main thing I need to do with each new printer is make sure the
connection is setup correctly otherwise it can have problems
scanning, throwing a lot of "Device not found" IO errors. To get
them both working (printer and scanner) I create separate printer
connections for both. Here is a link to the screenshots showing the
different connections:<br>

<br>
Both connections use the same driver but I find doing it this way
gets both working flawlessly every time. There are other ways to do
it I'm sure but this works for me. Hope this helps.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<div>At home, I have a HP Photosmart Premium C310 that has WiFi, I
had no issues connecting to it and printing from it. It's got
internet connectivity as well, so worst case scenario and you
can't connect to it, you can just email whatever you needed to
print to it and it will print it (after a 1-2min delay). I've
emailed it Word documents and PDFs that printed fine, but it
doesn't like OpenOffice docs unless they're saved in PDF or Word
format, which is kind of annoying.</div>

did reply Jim but I included a couple of screenshots and
it appears my reply is being held for the mods to
approve. Not sure if you can include images in this
forum? If it bounces I'll resend you the reply with a
link. Short answer - HP is the only way to go for Linux
printing and wireless is no problem, I've been using their
printers for 5 years on Linux.<br>

I haven't used any wireless printers, but i recommend
checking out the OpenPrinting database: <br>

In general, HP seem to be pretty good with providing
info to Linux developers, but there are some
exceptions. <br>
