Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately I had already looked through that thread, without finding what I was looking for. The problem I'm faced with is currently having an Epson C64 that I would really like to get working under mdk 9.2. The solution suggested of using Turboprint doesn't seem suitable since the printer is not listed as being supported. There is also a link to what looks like Epson reference drivers (sample client & server?) but I don't really know where to go with that- are they easily installed to enable printing in various mdk applications? It seems to me that the ideal solution would be to 'simply' update the printing mechanisms of mandrake. My understanding is (correct me if I'm wrong!) that this would mean upgrading gimp-print, probably from 4.2.5 to 4.2.6. If that upgrade and configuration task is too complex, and so beyond the scope of this mailing list, then fair enough but I'm hoping that someone on this list has some experience with this and can point me in the right direction. Once again any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Cameron.
