My 4100 worked with driver entry for the 600 or 800?, even letting me print out images in colour under Netscape. Ok, not the best quality, compared to optimized drivers under Windoze, but it was ok. The 4400 some shops could carry as a leftover, being not produced anymore. (Can't check out in the moment, cause I hooked it up to a M$ box again, to print via network) Regards Olaf Hoyer -------- Olaf Hoyer www.nightfire.de mailto:Olaf.Hoyer@nightfire.de FreeBSD- The power to serve ICQ:22838075 Liebe und Hass sind nicht blind, aber geblendet vom Feuer, dass sie selber mit sich tragen.
