When I started the Print Settings tool, I had to unlock it first, then I started the ADD PRINTER dialogue. When it prompted to select device, I opened the Network Printer expansion, but the printer I was looking for was not present, so I decided to enter it manually. While I was trying to figure out how to do that, an entry for the printer "magically" appeared in the network list! I guess it took a little time to "find" it. It came up with the bjnp://ip-address/:8611 URL. When I selected it, it took a few minutes to "find and install" the proper print driver, and not long after that, I had printed a test page. < 10 minutes! Great job. It would have been nice if this could have all been done automatically with CUPS finding all the right drivers automatically (ie, not having to install the cups-bjnp and cnijfilter-mg5500series RPMs myself), but, otherwise, a grand job of easing the installation! Hurrah! I got it working (wirelessly) before the guy with the windows PC. B^) -- Kevin J.
