I am running LM 13 Cinnimon on a Thinkpad X61. My problem is that I have a HP Deskjet 6500 connected to an Iomega NAS that the laptop does not see when I try and set it up. I have two LM 11 boxes and one Windows box that connect and print fine but not my laptop. When I try and set the printer up it does not even find it. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks
Jon Steckelberg

Please try using system-config-printer from the repository to setup the printer. You could also try using sudo hp-setup in terminal.

Thanks for the help. Once I opened the system-config-printer everything was detected and installed just fine. I am not sure why cinnamon has such a cut down menu for the printers. It makes life a lot harder for me.
Thanks

We inherited that menu from Gnome 3, on which Cinnamon is based. We may get rid of Gnome 3's settings in future but that'll still take a while. For the moment, the old printer settings program is available in the repository.
