Well, you can compile CUPS and use the sample HP drivers, however if memory serves the LJ 1100 is a Windows-only printer (no PCL support in the printer), so you won't be able to use it anyways... :( FWIW, we are planning on supporting FreeBSD (and OpenBSD, and NetBSD) sometime soon (maybe as soon as the beginning of 2000), but right now we're swamped just getting the Linux and Digital UNIX ports working. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Michael Sweet, Easy Software Products mike@easysw.com Printing Software for UNIX http://www.easysw.com "I do software development for Linux; where's my sledgehammer?"
