[Gllug] usb printing nightmare

[Gary Pownall]

I gave you all of the information that i had at the time.  i don't know 
anything about configuring cups or what spoolers are, or what they do, I was 
hoping to be enlightened by the community but since some of you are only 
concerned with making snide comments and scoring cheap points at peoples 
inexperience in certain areas I won't be asking this forum for help again or 
imposing on your precious time.
