1 Guys, this is ridiculous! Every time I want to print something from my main
2 Linux machine I have to physically disconnect the printer from the second
3 box and connect it to this one. The way this is going I will soon need to
4 buy another parallel port connector because the pins will wear out!

6 Surely, it can't be that difficult. I mean, it obviously is for me, but a
7 lot of people have cracked it. It should be straight forward printing from
8 one Linux box to the other. Please ask if you need more info from config
9 files etc.

11 In hope that some advice will soon arrive ;-)
