Steve: Lexmark printers are sometimes a problem, particularly multifunction machines. Check this site: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-X73 They recommend that you use the Z42 and Z43 printers. You might also search the mandrake maillist archives, as there have been threads in the past about various Lexmark printers. The best archive list is at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/index.html Finally (to keep Anne and Eric off of my case), you may also find some useful information about lots of things, including printers, at the Twiki: http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/WebHome -- cmg
