I know I'm in the wrong place, but maybe someone will still help me...?

Hi all,

I'm an ancient Solaris sysadm (like Solaris 6, long, long ago) who is trying out OpenSolaris on a T42 laptop. I registered under the OpenSolaris forum but alas, I can't login and the support people haven't fixed my problem, yet. Instead, they set me up for the reg Sun forums, so here I am. ??

My problem:

Can't get my cheapo Samsung ML-1740 to print using the print manager. Says it's ready to fly, but nothing pops out. I'm assuming it's a driver issue. Went to the HCL pages and the laptop was listed as compatible, but the printer isn't confirmed as compatible for OpenS., so I'm assuming my printer will never work under OpenS. All I can find out on the Web is a driver for LINUX. Im assuming that a LINUX driver won't work under OpenSolaris...

Any suggestions before I end up trying Ubuntu instead? (I'm doing all of this in Live CD; don't see any reason why it shouldn't work other than a poss driver issue.)

Thanks for any assist.
Kim
