As readers of this list know, a whole while ago I had problems with KMail 10.0 producing output in something that looked like Chinese. I am now running 9.3, and KMail works perfectly--knock on wood! I am watching the 10.3 reports very closely, as the 9.3 is pretty choosy as to the printers it will print to, and I have to go to Windows, generally, to print, and I'm not smart enough to network the machines. (I email to myself.) I use KDE, and if I had to use GNOME, I'd find another distro. As this goes to "print," does anyone know if the Brother HL-2040 is supported out of the box, in 10.3? There is supposed to be a driver, which I think I downloaded, but I don't know how to make it work. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.
