[pchelpers] Re: Linux printer installs

Yes they are supported as you say.  I did find drivers on the Internet
but installing them takes more effort than what it was worth.  They are
installed using a series of programming commands, none of which I was
familiar with, even the so-called "simple step-by-step installation
instructions" were complicated.  If I had a better understanding of the
operating system to begin with, I'd probably fair better.
