Sorry I've chopped off most of the quoted text, but it was a bit long. I
just want to add my two pence worth, I'm in the same boat. I've got a
Lexmark Color Jetprinter 1020, and am devastated to find that it seems
to be very non standard and won't work with linux (or even do ascii
prints from dos for heavens sake!). If anyone has any info (PCL3 control
codes for instance, though I understand that the 1020 has a non-standard
variant of PCL) could they please send a copy to me as well! (send to
Colum@penske.coracle.com). Otherwise I agree with Ralph, this printer
will not print from linux or DOS(!), avoid.
