I've always said that a little research before a purchase will save one grief. In any case. I have a BJC 4400 (which also emulates a 600) working fine. What I did is grab pdq and xpdq. I got the debs from unstable but I'm running woody. Install them then go to www.linuxprinting.org and get the pdq drivers for the 4300. Then just follow the pdq directions to install it. It just sets in your home diretory and you point xpdq and it and call it the default printer. Make a sym link from /usr/bin/pdq to /usr/bin/lpr and most apps do the right thing. Also you might have to play with permissions on the port you want to print from. There is really good docs on the linuxprinting website. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Carlos Laviola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 12:37:24 -0300 (BRT)
