There are two versions of the 1020 consumer and business the business is
OK as it understands postscript the consumer on the other had is a piece
of doggie doo. I still have one under my desk as a foot rest (and its
not much good as that either). I have read that it emulates a hp500 but
i never did get that to work. With the immense cost of lexmark
cartridges and the disposable nature of ink jets throw it away and buy
something else, save yourself the headaches I have 4 canon printers here
that all worked straight away with the redhat/fedora setup. Lexmarks are
bad..

Ps the reason that it is fine under windows os that ts a winprinter that
has hardly any hard/firmware smarts and the driver does all the work.
