[CLUE-Tech] My printer hates me

[Cyberclops]

Well that's what I have, but it does work in Libranet, and worked with Corel
before they  went belly up.  I know Mandrake 7.2 supports the 712c and so does
SuSE 7.1.  However, it was a hassle however to get it working in Libranet.
Luckily, Libranet support helped me.
