I need to set up a slightly old desktop machine for a quite

Where can I download a Fedora 14 iso?
I am specifically looking to use it to print to an old Xerox
Workcentre
XD100 printer, which is a parallel printer. Can I just plug in the
parallel cable and get Fedora to install the right the printer driver?
I'd recommend going to this web site to check on printer support for
your specific printer.

Thank you, it doesn't seem to list one. Perhaps there aren't any, or the
XD100 doesn't have critical mass any more.
Not a Fedora question I know -- but is it hard to write a driver for
these devices? Could I author one as an unwashed device driver newbie
and expect to succeed? I am an experienced applications programmer, but
I've never written a device driver before.
Thanks
