Subject: AOS-Jet-Duplex printer not working
 
Hi AOS Support,
 
I'm having trouble printing to AOS-Jet-Duplex from my linux 
computer lappy. In OpenOffice, I select File -> Print but 
cannot find the printer AOS-Jet-Duplex. I log in as mhavas. 
 
If you'd like to drop by, I'll be in my office for the next 
hour but plan to have some lunch. I should be back at around
3pm.
 
Thanks,
 
Michael
