Thought we just covered that. Linux plus MAC = 10% of the market - which is why very few companies bother with it??? I believe the discussion was concerning winprinters - or you're trying to tell me they work fine on a MAC?

About six years ago, when I didn't know any better, I had a Canon all-in one. (printer, copier, scanner & fax). There was no Linux driver available for it and I was running a home network under Linux. Since I didn't know it could not be run under Linux, I wrote a driver for it and the thing ran perfectly. If I had the knowledge of the experts here, I would not have been able to write the driver. Oh I forgot to mention that the Canon was not designed as a network printer either. About two weeks ago I donated it to the Salvation Army, as I no longer need a fax and have stopped running under Linux. -- Peter |
