I've tried IceWm and fluxbox in the past, all nice and customisable - with many themes available. BUT in the same way that mobile phones have ringtones and wallpapers available, all I need is a phone.
All I need is something that is clean and reliable - FVWM95 is always the one I end up using.

I found Puppy from a thread in the Toyota Owners Club forums. Someone asked about linux and someone else linked to Puppy in a response.

The Lexmark site has a download called Linux Developers Kit.
If you know how to, you could make your own driver using this.

my suggestion didn't involve opening ghostscript/ghostview !

Try printing the file directly from xpdq. Choose print file from the drop down menu. If this works then we're 95% there

ah...the 'poor mans multisession method !' :lol:

There may be differences with the 2 systems that will need to be addressed. Different Modems/printers etc.
As far as I know though, it should work ( albeit it may need tweaking to match the new hardware )

open xpdq and select 'Print File' choose the following file........./usr/share/ps-pdf/colorcir.ps This is the easiest way test whether the printer is working ( and subsequently narrow down where the problem may be. ) Make sure in the XPDQ setup that the printer is set for monochrome ( if that's all ...

There will be a small plastic cap covering the bearing and fan shaft. ( this is usually covered by a manufacturers stick...

Genius thing, Firefly.

It's a real shame it was cancelled after the first season too........left a lot of questions unanswered. The Movie - Serenity - is superb, and you don't even have to have seen the series to get it/enjoy it. Joss Whedon writes great things.....I always look out for his work .

Are you sure you need a driver. I've got a Fuji and I can connect the camera to the usb and simply read/edit the photos by mounting the camera as a drive.
