our servers runs on Linux. But Olivetti - what will become of
them?<br>

<div> Poor show Olivetti. I even asked them about this via
their website and received an impersonal, standardised
reply which means nothing and leads nowhere. <br>
<br>
Best is to warn Linux users to stay away via social media?

<div>As far as I know Olivetti has never been a big
linux supporter. Even on Open Printing database
there is very little Olivetti printers available - <a

<br>
I have joined a RE office in KZN (Wakefields on
South Coast). They use WiFi for their big Olivetti
printers<br>
<br>
AND I use Ubuntu 16.04.<br>
<br>
* PROBLEM is that I cannot currently link with
the printers (which may force me to not use Ubuntu
in future).<br>
<br>
I do not wish to go that route.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
I am copying the details of the printers below.<br>
<br>
Olivetti d-colorp2130 and Olivwtti d-4004mf<br>
<br>
Hoping that someone can provide a way out. The IT
guy here himself loves Ubuntu and is willing to
assist, but needs directions.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
