[SunHELP] Lexmark Z52 & Solaris

Tue Nov 6 11:49:42 CST 2001

I hope it does work because I only replaced our last printer, an HP Deskjet 820Cse, because it was a Windows-only printer. I took the fact that Linux drivers existed as evidence that lpr would work, since they don't say definitively online or in print. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it didn't work with lp. I'm about to be REAL upset.
