It’s on an ethernet port on my router sat on my landing and it doesn’t appear in the list of printers anyway. It works fine from Linux on the Pi. Would it be possible to download the correct PPD file? if so where does it need to be kept? is it possible under riscos to attach a networked printer? tia norman
