IIRC, glibc2 is the one you want. However, I downloaded the
RPM version from RedHat (for my RedHat box at work.)
There's also a Mandrake RPM which will take the guesswork
out of it.... if you can't find it using the "updates"
icon, try a straight ftp to one of the Mandrake mirrors. I
just ftp'ed to ftp.linux-mandrake.com and there in the
/pub/updates/6.0/RPMS/ directory was three RPM files for
Netscape.

Well, that's not listed on Grant Taylor's "Printer
Compatibility List." However, both the BJC-1000 and
BJC-5000 are listed as "paperweights" (i.e. useless under
Linux) so I think it would be a fair bet that the 6000
isn't any better. Do you still have the box it came in? See
if it says it requires Windows 95/98/NT? If so, that's the
problem...it's a "Win-Printer." You've heard of
"WinModems"? Well, there are the equivalent in printers.
