[newbie] Epson printer C44/C64
Hi everyone, My old printer is having problems. I am looking for a different one, and I found the Epson Stylus C44 or C64 able to do more than I need. I found the C64 as printing 'mostly' on www.linuxprinting.org, but the C44 (which is cheaper) is not there. How would the odds be that the C44 works as much as the C64? Does anyone know? I don't need to print much, so I would like to spend as little as possible on such a device. Thanks for any info, Paul Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks for any info, Paul I have an Epson c64; I would not recommend it at this point for linux use (nor the c44). They are supposed to have support with the latest unstable version of gimpprint, but you will have to jump through several hoops to get even usable output. Epson does have great support normally; I would maybe try ebay and see if you can get a slightly older model. -- Michael Holt Snohomish, WA (o_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (o_ (o_ //\ www.holt-tech.net (/)_ (/)_ V_/_ www.mandrakelinux.com ** * 69. ``Why is my rm *.o taking so long?'' * ** * --Top 100 things you don't want the sysadmin to say* ** Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
