,I have a 832c not 932c and All I did was go to
printer
config from the 'start' menu...yeah, I know, no start.
And I just followed the gui setup. Works great in
pclinuxos. Yeah, diff os, but...

In config  > kde > perheriphals > printers    there
are two 932c's, one w/hjjwhatever and one straight.
Sooooo, linux does support it.

Probably in gnome config setup....not a gnome fan at
all. 

I am using usb as a connection tho. Never did get
parallel port to work. Just fyi.

It works fine for what I do so far.

That is all I had to do. PDF's print funny, by using
the popup thingy and changing from saving the file to
print and telling it lpr in the command line at the
top of the box...at least in kDE version. ymmv.
