Hi Linus,
I wonder if these problems are very common? I can't recall
reading of any particular problems with printing from any
of the beta testers on here.
I have my Epson Stylus Color 480SXU working under 9.0,
after a bit of struggle, and it seems to be OK right now.
It gave me no problems under 8.2 at all. I'm a newbie to
Linux, and it is hard to keep from getting frustrated with
"challenges". I like Mdk a lot though, and I'm going to
keep at learning Linux. I am starting to get to the point
where I can sort out some of the little "challenges",
thanks to this list, and others, where ppl are kind enough
to share their knowledge w/learners like me. :)
As long as you're having fun....that's the main thing!
Good luck to you Linus!
