needle printer, need help


Hi guys

i have a Needle printer, to be specific, its: Citizen MSP-15 if i can't install this one, then i have another needle printer, Star LC-20 (dot matrix printer)

is it possiple to install a needle printer into linux? (in dos, there was no installation needed, you just did print and the printer did the rest (that one was Citizen MSP-15))

Yes, just go into the Mandrake Control Center and set it up as a local dot matrix printer or text mode printer.
