Books for you

Manufacturers didn??™t know much about Linux when these printers were
new, and they certainly aren??™t going back to add support now.
Like the Winmodems that rely on software to perform many essential communications
tasks, quite a few of these printers shaved a few bucks off their cost by using the Microsoft
Graphic Device Interface (GDI). Essentially, the printers run only because they have access
to this Windows-only interface.
The openSUSE Administration Guide offers a partial list of these printers, and
http://www.linuxprinting.org has a broader listing in its database.
