IIRC, glibc2 is the one you want. However, I downloaded the
RPM version from RedHat (for my RedHat box at work.)
There's also a Mandrake RPM which will take the guesswork
out of it.... if you can't find it using the "updates"
icon, try a straight ftp to one of the Mandrake mirrors. I
just ftp'ed to ftp.linux-mandrake.com and there in the
/pub/updates/6.0/RPMS/ directory was three RPM files for
Netscape.

I didn't know about this, thanks for the tip.

Well, that's not listed on Grant Taylor's "Printer
Compatibility List." However, both the BJC-1000 and
BJC-5000 are listed as "paperweights" (i.e. useless under
Linux) so I think it would be a fair bet that the 6000
isn't any better. Do you still have the box it came in? See
if it says it requires Windows 95/98/NT? If so, that's the
problem...it's a "Win-Printer." You've heard of
"WinModems"? Well, there are the equivalent in printers.

I know about WinPrinters, I have one. An HP something or other. This
one didn't seem to bee that way. It has drivers for Win3.1 so I
figured I was safe. It is a relatively new model. Hope I didn't spend
200 for nothing. Also, where is this list you are talking about? It
would be nice if I knew some sites that tell what is compatible with
Linux and what is not. Not just printers but other thing, Monitors,
sound cards (can't get mine to work), video cards, CD Recorders (got
one of those).
Thanks for the tips
Russ
