   True btu it is an INEXCUSABLE Glitch. Back in the old days when everyone   
   was marching to their own Drummer o nprinters I could see it. Just liek   
   the Modem problems Linux Had it was understadable. BUT in the world of   
   very standard printers and they camot make one plug and play. ABSOLUTLS   
   Idotic. But I understand as the LINUX geeks want to keep out the   
   "Unwashed Ones"   
      
   Well they have been sucessful in this case.   
   I used to try every other year to see if they were really interested i   
   nmaking it in the Common Man Computer market. Obviouley ther are NOT.   
   ASo at 81 I suspect this is my LAST try and I wil jsut go with Windows   
   for the rest of my life keeping an as I want it Clone Drive set aside   
   in the case one of the "bugs" catches up with me
