Rick,

   Probably. It's the same LJ-5 I bought in 1997 with the last duplexer
available in the country, extra RAM, a PostScript card, and a JetDirect
card.

   Printing was done 'normally' with WordPerfect/Linux until that died in
2000, then from within OpenOffice.org. But, at some point it changed and I
have no recollection of whether this was a distribution upgrade, switching
from Red Hat to Slackware, CUPS being bought by Apple, or something else.
All I know is that I need to feed checks and labels feet first and on their
bellies to get the printing on the proper side and orientation. This is
using the manual feed tray because otherwise I don't load the paper tray
correctly and waste forms. Anything else, printed from the internal paper tray
on plain paper, comes out correctly because both sides of the paper are
blank going in.

Rich
