I already have my printer, that I've had since long before the descision to switch to Linux. I do not have the finances to switch printers on a whim. In any case, please note: I am not asking if Linux can or should support the printer I have. I've already read web sites which indicate it's possible. What I am asking is how and where I access printer configuration commands so that I may try the drivers that are suggested on the web sites I've read. Dave
