I hope that a printing program does come out that allows for bluetooth and usb connection printing! This would allow for photos, calander, notes and certain programs. This would be great.

Just wanted to inform you all that printing from easy-debian works flawlessly.

Using easy-debian I installed "config-system-printer" (along with its dependencies) and ran "config-system-printer", added a network printer, and could afterwards print my pdf files from evince :-)

What I described above works for wireless printing. From the debian chroot just install system-config-printer and you will be able to set up the network printers.

Ok, I think you misunderstood. You have to install easy debian from extras-devel first (please notice the risk when installing from this repository). For further instructions, se e.g.

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ht=easy+debian

Then you probably have to make some more room in the downloaded image or remove some programs from it, see e.g.

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=28

Then you can run "apt-get install system-config-printer" from the chroot terminal (that means in your debian environment).

You should however probably only do this if you are somewhat familiar with the linux command line.

I would be happy with a print-to-pdf option that lets me save to a pdf file in MyDocs, which I could then later print when USB connected to a PC. I wouldn't have to install all the other printer drivers.

My use case for this is: I was buying some movie tickets off Fandango. I had to get off the couch and move to the desktop PC and restart the purchase on a browser there so I could print the tickets. Of course, fandango sends you an email link to the confirmation page, so this wasn't really a problem...and the browser has a "save page as complete web page" option, which would have done this anyway...but we Linux users like multiple solutions to our needs, don't we?
