Hi, On every reference I can find of this printer it says Windows and MAC compatible - as there's no mention of Linux or any other OSes, I suspect this is a Win-Printer, Which at present won't work with eComStation. As CUPS for OS/2 is developed, such printers "might" be supported, but until then we need to make sure we buy "real printers". Since the Canon is working, I'd say it is probably a "real printer" that is driven by a printer protocol rather than binary controls from the PC. Often manufacturers have both Host-based (the official term for win-printers) and full printers in their range. Often the "bargain basement" models are the Host based printers as they can save about $50 of electronics in the printer by moving the page creation work to the windows or MAC driver. Cheers/2 Ed.

I tried in vain to establish a connection with my HP WiFi printer. That bady works on AdHoc mode just fine under Windoze (whatever goes for "fine" there). But no matter what I try, I can't get passed the WiFi connection build up under OS/2. scan.exe proves I got a connection, but I can't get an IP address with dhcp from the printer. Even not if I use all those tricks that normally work on Windoze based networks. Anybody got any suggestions? Is your access point connected to a router? If so, go into the router's setup software and see what ip address is assigned to your printer. Then use OS/2's slpr port to configure your printer using that ip address. Sandy
