Fool that I was, I bought a printer on someone's recommendation, without thinking to check whether it worked with linux. It's a Lexmark X1185 -- which didn't then, and still doesn't afaict: linuxprinting finds no driver for it. So will there be any new printer drivers in FC5 that are not yet generally available on linuxprinting? If so, is there a list I can check mine against? Fwiw, I've been running an XP machine, just for topo maps and GPS stuff; but it's beginning to look like CrossoverOffice 5.0 (CXO) will be able to handle at least the most important (to me) of the proprietary suites of GPS/topo software that I have, Maptech and Garmin. But, I'm told on the CXO list, neither wine nor CXO can handle any printer that linux can't already run. So, if I take to running a clean OS on what is now the XP machine, will that mean I have one more bulky paperweight sitting around? Or is there hope with FC5 once I update to that? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert FC4; Pine 4.64, Pan 0.14.2.91; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo 0.8.5, Opera 8.51, Firefox 1.0.7, Epiphany 1.6.5 Remember I have little idea what I am talking about.
