[Warty] - Printer drivers and installation - Linz

[Lindsay]

Thanks Michael.  I get as far as you explain, but my printer is not
listed.  Others tell me that I will have problems as it is a dual
scanner-printer.  I can forward anything I want to the Windows PC and
print it there, so no problem.  Topic closed for the time being.
