Could you point me in the direction of the open source stuff, presumeing
it's not already in Ubuntu?

I was going to suggest a PLIP cable, but then I

Yeah, it's a bug somewhere in all likely hood. I'm not exactly
sure where, but filing it against italc would be a good start.

I'm middle-aged and female - someone has to keep these youngsters in
order! :)
But there is a women's group on the forum, which I don't read much - I
can't help feeling that gender-specific groups are a bit discriminatory.

Unfortunately... i think that conversation was partly accurate, though
the word "ONLY" is a bit strong. Ubuntu was pretty much created to break
that tradition, and to some extent it is slowly working (spreading to
the not so young, not so male population).
