I have not been following this thread, but anytime someone has difficulty with printer drivers it is worth giving TurboPrint a try (apologies if it has already been suggested) http://www.turboprint.de/english.html
Turbo print is not free and so cannot be bundled with Mandrake. It is however 'no cost' for personal use. For certain printers it will give substantially better print quality than the 'free' (as in freedom) drivers. For others it is little different. Your printer is listed as supported by Turboprint. HTH http://www.turboprint.de/english.html (BTW: If your printer manufacturer would write drivers for Linux like they do for Windows, then you would not have this difficulty) derek On Sunday 13 Oct 2002 5:03 pm, Dennis &Sue wrote: > Hello, I have tried every possible thing I can find, read, and install to > get this supported printer working. > The best I have yet to achieve is garbage character printout, and even that > isn't consistent. > I am tired of editing, searching, reading, installing, removing, and > looking.
