OK I see I am going to need to restate what I am INVESTIGATING. Let us assume an OpenSUSE 10.2 box is setup with a parallel Epson Stylus 800+ printer attached to it. A browse on www.linuxprinting.org shows that the 800 works perfectly but no mention is made of the 800+. A VM on OpenSUSE runs Windows XP. The attached printer is known to work with Windows and so is configured on the VM OS to work from the Windows OS VM ie a printer is setup on Windows. Can both the VM OS and the base OpenSUSE OS use the VM OS printer if: 1. The printer only works using Windows drivers 2. CUPS is setup to forward print requests to the VM OS to print, if it can be? So the questions asked are: 1. Can the base OS(OpenSUSE) use the VM OS printer? 2. Can CUPS be configured to print to/forward print requests to a VM OS printer? Now, what say ye? P.S: Thanks both M Harris and Eberhard Koloff for their ealier replies M Harris wrote:

Which printer? Epson stylus 800+
Please see above for a better explantion of what I am investigating to do., if the printing hardware requires it. <snip> -- ======================================================================== Using SuSE 9.2 Professional with KDE and Mozilla Mail 1.7.13 Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org ======================================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
