a user, ken <gebser at mousecar.com>, on the centos user list has the
same printer and posted a problem.

as he states, he has gone thru various 'incantations' to get into
printer, but all are failing and no user on centos list has same
printer to be able to help.

so far, there has been 25 posting to thread with no solution, so,
i thought that if there was a fedora user who had same printer, you
might have an answer.

it is not that i am tired of reading thread. ;-) it is that Ken seems
a bit lost and desperate for help and he is not finding any. therefore,
to try to help, i posted to this list.

so, if either of you would pass along an answer, i will pass it along
to Ken on the centos thread.

also, i presume that his email address is correct and i "Bcc:" to him.

thanks again for your response.
