Yes, I am using the my CLP-500N as my default printer in linux (ubuntu
5.04, Linspire 5.0, and Suse 9.2) Had an issue with Suse initially
also...) I connect with a socket connection, printer sits off my
router.  



Are you having a problem printing?  If so, please describe the error(s)
or problem here in as much detail as possible  here.  I'm no expert, but
they are definitely some in this forum!  They certainly saved my sanity.
This thing was driving me nuts, install says no problem, but everytime
I went to add the printer it kept asking for root authorization. 
Adding the cupsys user as described below and restarting cups did the
trick, but I think not before I got a couple more gray hairs <Dooh!>.
