Yes, you need a printer spooler. I use cups, see also /usr/local/share/doc/hpoj/setup-print.html for documentation. I mostly print from KDE, but from the console you can simply use /usr/local/bin/lpr MYFILE (that is the lpr that comes with cups, not the one that comes with the base system). Scanning also works well. HTH, Dan
