     I have a laptop with Bodhi Linux that I tried.   
      
   It booted up and automatically installed the network printer and worked   
   fine.   
      
      
   I copied the configuration *exactly* to Mint Linux again but same problem.   
      
   Printer is installed fine and print job goes to it but it sits there in   
   queue as "pending"   
      
      
   Anyway, since it works with USB this is not a critical problem, just   
   more of curiosity
