I was looking up printer drivers for somebody else the other day, for an 820Cse, and sure enough there's NT 4.0 drivers. There is even a project out there for Linux drivers for some of these printers. I appologize I don't have the URL, but a search at your favorite search engine should turn something up. FWIW, even though they are called 'Win' printers they are not as bad as 'Win' modems. I wouldn't suggest buying one, but people seem to have had some luck working out the protocol they use. --rdp > I don't have the URL handy that documents all this, but > I'll try to find it later today. > > Bayard > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > Bayard R.
