Well, i dunno....while installing Red Hat (5.1/cheapbytes) it asks If I
want to configure a printer...so I say yes (I am running an Epson Stylus
Color 600) and I configure the LP1 and whatever then it comes up with a
list of printers...I look through the list...and wow I am in luck it says
`Epson Stylus Color'... I think perfect I have had NO true hardware
problems with linux...but at the bottom of the screen I notice it says
`press <F1> for information on this printer' so I press f1 and it says
"Epson Stylus...blah...blah... NOTE: This printer requires Ghostview 3.53
and Red Hat is only allowed to ship 3.33" or something close (Im not good
with names..)
So If I ever find this Ghostview/ghostscript, now I cant remember which
one I need...may have to reinstall linux just to get the name.
