Hello all. I have just recently successfully installed Debian 2.0 (Hamm) from the disks in a book bought at Borders.
I have run into a problem with my HP Deskjet 722c printer, a printer I am very happy with on the dos/w95 side of my box. Apparently it is a win-printer which I did not know existed, i.e. it depends on the operating system for some of its functionality. So, no printing from Linux. I had heard once of a reverse engineering attempt to get a driver that would work. I'm trying again to find out if such an attempt has been made, or maybe is successful. But, I also am curious about the 'legality' of such a thing. I'm guessing it is legal, even if HP doesn't like it, since I'm assuming the reverse engineering is being done to determine critical info such that a driver can be written non-proprietarily from scratch. I would be interested in anyone's thoughts on these matters. Thanks. msc _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
