The latest version of gutenprint is supposedly able to support this printer. Any idea where I find that? If there is one issue with Linux it's that by the time printer and scanner hardware is supported it's
no longer in production. I can't count how many scanners I have
bought (new) which just didn't work, and by the time they worked the
new model or new firmware was out and I couldn't buy the one that
works.

Anyway, I would like to use this setup because it's quite neat but totally unsupported.

Alternatively, if I could use the USB printer and scanner directly
from Windows under kvm without causing the working system printers to
die, I would do that. Last time I tried the printer worked but the
rest of the system printers hung after I did it. :-(

	Do you mean that the scan and print drivers at:

	are not suitable for you?

The rpm provided for my os and revision is 1.0.3-1 and has a boatload of dependencies on library versions from FC6. While their documentation suggest ignoring that, I don't think that getting rid of the error messages will make it work better.

I appreciate the idea, but I think I'll pass on finding out what would happen with calls to missing libraries after forcing an install.
