installing a printer
I am trying to install a stand alone printer. We have a printer currently linked to our network and we are using UNIX. We would like the stand alone printer to print from UNIX and not from the network printer. How do I make this work? I don't know much about computers so a step by step detailed description would be nice. Thanks!
