If you are using the USB Printing feature of Qube3 OS 6.4 then you shouldn't
have to install anything else on the Qube3.

Qube3 OS 6.4 provides the capability to be a print spooler for Mac and
Windows clients to a local USB printer.  Hence all you need to do is install
appropriate drives on Macs and Windows boxes and point them at the print
queues on the Qube3.

I connected a Lexmark M410 to my Qube3, setup a print queue, and my Macs
found it in Chooser.  Typically it will be a bit more complex under Windows.

I believe the software install path you are following is to setup a Linux
box to use a USB printer itself.  I do not believe this is necessary.

Cheers,  Malcolm
