I haven't forgotten about this - been busy with work stuff. I'll reboot to linux now
and try the patch.
VMWare gives me warning/error messages under the 2.6 kernel, which I guess is to be
expected as it's written for 2.4. However, I should be able to at least plug the
printer in and get a device id.
Would it be a big change to make the patch work on 2.4.21 later? (My kernel
programming knowhow is nil)
Cheers
