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! --Angus PS. You have a great name for a Linux user. ;-) "This is the Earth School......always in session.
