Jason, you mentioned a work around setting up the printer to be
networked. Is not the chance that it is a GDI printer rather high and
that it will not work because of this?
There is no such thing as a GDI printer. GDI is a Windows API for
drawing graphics. Printers take text or binary commands over a wire.
Setting up the printer through the network solves the problem that USB
ports do not have real character devices assigned to them by default.
Yes, but it is also the language used for printing on those printers,
see for example:
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:GDI_Printers
As they write there such printers does not always recognize other
printer language than GDI. They also mention the problem that the
printer might be in a bad state.
Using the "network fix" does not necessarily seem to help, or?
