[USB] Printers

The idea is to create in the near future a database with reported working and non working devices

please report here if you have a device that WORKS or does NOT WORK

please also report if you have upgraded and the device stays working or not

your post should look like this: (this is an actually working product I own)

The printer is slowly when it is connected to the router, compare whe it is connected to the PC.
Maybe it is because on the PC i've got USB 2.0, while the router has USD 1.0 (just a guess...) :confused:

on mac os X there is no proper driver for i865 for use with printservers (i.e. you cant use the osx driver delivered with the printer)

solution:
- CUPS driver from http://www.printfab.de (30day-trial)
- usb-plugged into apples airport express base station
- usb-plugged into canons wireless printserver
