using PI as print server?

Fri Mar 01, 2013 9:27 am

I hope I'm not asking a ridiculously stupid question but would it be possible to use this as a print server as well? If so what Debian package would be required or more generally asked, how do go about this?

Regards,
morrisoni

If you have a HP Printer install HPLIP package which is in the Raspbian "wheezy" repository

http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/hplip
I will always assume you are running Raspbian for desktop and Raspbmc for XMBC !
