We are using SHARP AR-158S printer. I can not find any driver for it in the selection list. I googled and yahooed for PPD file as well but can not find anything. Does this means I could not use the printer? Can any of you give me some hint please? Thanks, Rocky -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
