Set up new Dell 1235cn printer scanner
Chris, so I bought the dell printer scanner. It will I'm sure work with my windows machine but I would like it to print and scan with the linux one too. I chatted with you by text and you suggested that it should work by "connect the printer to the network following the instructions and hopefully the linux laptop will find it automatically". Well, I put an ether net cable in the laptop and the other end in the printer, turned on the printer and then hoped. Nothing happened. I fear that I did not really have a network by doing this. Do you have any further thoughts on getting my laptop to communicate instructions to the printer / scanner? Thanks.
