Can i somehow at least install a driver the printer can live with, and or establish a wireless connection, since it is capable of wireless printing??

ALSO i have one really strange question. When puppy was installed there were two boot sectors (i believe that is the proper terminology) I installed from one and then it appeared be corrupted and would boot puppy, So i went to the other and used it for a while. Then appeared to be corrupted. Finally i went to regular using the unbuntu.

Here's the weird part I tried the puppy a few weeks later, and it functioned just fine. Both boot sectors are now working AGAIN. Do they repair themselves or what?? Cool

Have you read the How-To here?. Your ML-1865W is not included in the base driver package, so you will also need to install the samsung_ml1865w_ppd-3.00.76.pet.

Regarding wireless connectivity - I have not tested a wireless Samsung model, but most wireless printers are auto-detected by CUPS. However, you may need to try Find New Printers several times before it is detected.

Thanks, but presently i've got bigger fish to fry. My puppy has deteriorated to the point that it just locks up anytime i go to the interent!! I've tried opera and mozilla!! Just rapidly locks up!! Got to deal with first!

No rush. It's only been eight months.
