Windows 7 to Phoenix printing
« on: August 16, 2012, 04:52:51 PM »
OK I am trying to figure out how to print documents from Windows 7 to a printer that is on my Phoenix OS system. Any idea's?

You can import them in Libre Office and print them out  (maybe my answer is to simple).  :)

why would you expect anyone here to know about windows 7?  have you considered asking on a windows help forum?  this one is for pclinuxos - just in case you wandered in by mistake.

Didn't tried it with windows 7 but I think that it should work.

Oh thanks Jaydot. I was wondering why this all looked different yet sorta the same as windows 7, LOL yes I know this is a PCLinuxOS forum, its why I am here. I will be the first to admit that I don't know half of what I am doing when it comes to PCLinuxOS, but I am trying.

I just wanted to know if anyone knows the answer to the question I asked. You don't know... its cool. Maybe someone else does. Windows 7 pretty much will find most stuff, but for some unknown reason can't seem to find anything PCLinuxOS, nor recognize it. ( At least I can't get it to see anything.) But Thanks for the heads up about the windows forum. I am sure I will get the same answer there, but pointing to this forum...

sir_herrbatka: Thanks, this looks like it is exactly what I was looking for. As soon as I check it out and verify this works I will consider this closed.  And jaydot, this is exactly what I mean. Someone else knew and I probably will be back later to relabel this as solved.  God these forums are great!!!
