I intend to purchase a multifunction printer (including fax, scanner, & 
copier) and return to utilizing the BSD operating systems.  Early research 
indicates that few printer manufacturers formally support the FreeBSD or 
Unix operating systems but imply that drivers may still be available 
elsewhere.  In the past, I remember visiting certain websites that provided 
links to drivers but have forgotten the address.  Could someone refresh my 
memory or provide an address that could help?

Thanks,

Bob Perry
