Trevor I have an Epson 760 on my Linux machine, using the parr connection not the USB. It was recoged during the 7.2 installation and was listed in the printer drivers. The only problem I had with it is that after the installation completes and the system reboots during hardware detection I am imformed that the printer has benn removed from my system, I then had to use DrakConfig to get it set back up. As to the print speed and guality I would have to rate it at average or above. Considering that when I got mine it was on sale for $99 and had a $30 rebate I think it is a great printer for $69. Now a word on Canon. Though you can get them to work,in a fashion,with Linux, which is what was meant by "operational", Canon has stated that they do not and will not support Linux nor will they release any of their firmware code so that others might port it to Linux. Don,t get me wrong I think that Canon makes a quality product but not for Linux. Charles Forever never goes beyond tomorrow. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Trevor Farrell Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 12:18 AM To: expert Subject: [expert] Printers & Mandrake 7.2 Hi, I know that this is a common question, but I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had experience with either a Canon BJC-6200 or an Epson ColorStylus 760 under Linux (and particularly Mdk 7.2) I have shortlisted these as the best 2 printers in my budget range that are presently available locally. I have been to various sites that seem to suggest the Epson is better supported under Linux, but others describe the Canon drivers as "operational". I am after a printer to do good quality printing - some colour photos, but mostly B&W - at home. It must be useable under Linux, M$ Windows (98 & NT) and maybe even BeOS, and also network accessable. I currently have a Lexmark 2030 which is a Win-printer and not able to network even then! so I'm looking to replace it with something decent. Any help/opinions would be much appreciated. TIA Trevor
