Yes, it works. It works just fine with CUPS. It could be that one of the printers which you're looking at would also work with CUPS. What you need to find is a PPD file which describes your printer. Mine uses Kyocera_FS-1030_en.ppd. There's a Linux-specific site which has these PPDs available, which is pretty easy to find with google. --- Gary Jennejohn
