Dear sir,
I am Company Secretary of Kerala Shipping and Inland Navigation Corporation=
 Ltd., a Govt. of Kerala Company engaged in Inland Navigation. I amincharge=
 of computerisation of this Company. We have invited tenders for this=
 process and it is in the final stage. Being interested in the Linux=
 platform we had emphasised  this in the tender and asked the parties to=
 quote for both windows and LInux platforms. 

    As a trial I have installed MANDRAKE linux in one of the machines. Th=
 installation went smoothly. i installed the OPEN OFFICE as the office=
 suit. 
But now I am facing a problem that none of our printers is supportedby=
 Linux. We are having the following printers: (all dot matrix printers)
1. Epson LQ300 ESC/2
2. Wipro LQ1050
3. EPSON FX 1170
4. TVSE MS P345

Can you advice me about how to install the printers to get OPEN OFFICE=
  documents print properly.
(I can print plain text using the printers.)
Since there are number of letters and other documents are prepared this is=
 crucial to determine whether to go in for LINUX system or not.

Regards,

RAJU V.K.
