Eh. More or less. I can get it to print plain text, but one it tries to do anything like post script, it bonks out on me. The installation of RH that I have came with a bunch of HP hacked drivers, including one for the 710 and the 712c, which is what I have. The printer bombed when I tried using the 710c or the 712c driver, but when I used the 710 driver (not c) I got it to print text. > I've always believed that the HP 700 series was a series of winprinters.

My wife and I have decided that we need to get a photo-quality printer anyway. I have sworn to do some research and find one that will work for all of our printers. Heh. And yeah, the 700 series is a series of winprinters, and there are no official drivers for them. However, you can get hobbled-together drivers at http://www.linuxprinting.org (I think). I think that my problem lies in the way Samba is talking to the driver on the win98 box. I dunno, though. Right now I'm too tired to investigate much further. ;-) Tomorrow I'll hunt around on www.samba.org and see if I can get some more information from there. -- Sliante, Richard S.
