I've owned this printer since my 486 33 with 4megs ram was brand new on the market. I've had it all through High-School and through College, it's never let me down, never jammed, and I believe I've replaced the toner once. It's been through hell and back, and through many moves with me. Been through countless distributions of Linux and *cough* some windows. This printer is an absolute workhorse and I will never get rid of it.

It only works with Mandrake 10.1 and 9.2 and WhiteBox Linux (ReddHat Enterprise 3 ES clone without RH logos) .

I also tried Fedora Core 3, Fedora Core 1, and of course, RedHat 9.

it used to work with RH 9 one year ago, however, it stopped working suddenly (I think it was after an up2date from RHN, but that is just a guess)

here is the error that I receive at /var/log/messages

modprobe: can't locate module char-major-188

The printer works on with WhiteBox, however this was tested under Windows (VMware-Workstation), so this might actually be a fake expectative, it might not work in a plain WhiteBox installation (running from physical disk instead of running from Window, VMware)
