Mike, yes, they exist, the question is, does Linux have a driver for them also. The real problem is that the F50 uses driver software that apparently no one has written yet, nor probably will. There are about, oh, 1/3 of the world's printers that wont work with linux because someone that knows the linux kernal well enough to write a driver for it. That is unfortunate, but that is the way it is. --- Vaughn Treude wrote: > On Monday 21 June 2004 01:58, you wrote: > > You know, after reading up on this printer it > appears that it has a USB > > cable.
