Linux driver for dell 1320c Printer
Recently my father purchased a dell 1320c printer which i then set up as a network printer here in my home, just the problem is I use Ubuntu 8.04 on both my desktop PC and my laptop, however, Dell does not seem to offer drivers for this particular printer for any OS other than Windows. It was unexpected, seeing as Dell does offer Linux (Ubuntu even!) on some of their PCs and Laptops, yet they don't have drivers available for another of their products? I also tried the one fix i found for it (using fujitsu foomatics drivers for the printer), however, i had no luck with that. Anyone have a working fix, or have a driver available somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
Lswes

This is fron a web-friend Jeff Koenig's website (www.xtr.com/jeff) -- it is written for distros that use rpm (well, rpm.org's rpm4 ;-)
Anyway, you can follow these just get the non-rpm/source file

Thanks for that, but I've already tried it, didn't work for my network set up (seemed to work, the light would go green, but it wouldn't print). I'll give it another try though, getting tired of going upstairs to plug in a USB cable to the laptop so i can print to the HP printer i've got up there. On a side note, you can convert rpm files to .deb using alien.
*EDIT* looks like i forgot to change what paper tray it was meant to use, woops. Thanks, that solution did work.
