We'll return to deth@idx.com.au and All's
discussion of Laser Printer under Linux??? Need help badly....

 de> Im using Redhat 4.2 and no printers listed under this distribution
 de> seem to work with this printer. I can get the light inside the printer
 de> to turn on as if it is about to print then just goes off. As far as I
 de> know it is not a Win95 only printer.

 de> Any help or suggestions at all would be GREATLY appreciated.

 de> If it's not a hassle, could you please email replies.

Try and find out if it's compatible with a popular printer.  If so, you
might be in luck.  Also, if the printer uses Postscript, set it up as a
Postscript printer.

As an aside, I tried to get a HP5MP going with Linux.  It didn't like
the HP drivers that Red Hat provides, but works perfectly as a
postscript printer.

If all else fails, set it up as a generic text only printer (lousy, I
know, but better than nothing :) ).
