And I end up in the same situation. I can print very simple files, local text files, pdfs and a simple web page on the host machine. I cannot print a web page of any complexity from Firefox. I plugged the printer into the host machine, installed the printer, and it prints fine from the host. I was able to install the printer on the guest, and print a test page, but cannot print from Firefox. Otherwise networking is fine on the guest. Tim, I might have misspoke when I maligned the rpms. My bad. When I first set up this system, I installed the Fedora rpms and when I tried to print a web page, I got nothing from the printer, and nothing when I printed to a file (well, a little of either the ps or pdf headers but no content). I don't remember exactly, but I probably didn't experiment much but tried the HP version of the driver. When I installed the HPLIP from HP, I ended up in exactly the same situation. Nothing when trying to print a typical web page from Firefox, although oddly I could print a very simple web file served up by the host machine -- I haven't found a file from over the web that will print. Maybe it's a Firefox issue. When I try to print, I get a message saying the file was successfully sent to server. On the server there appears to be nothing pending. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - One of many happy users: http://www.fastmail.fm/docs/quotes.html -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
