Added a Printer to My Linux setup

The Mita 550 and Lexmark 23 printers that I had on this machine did now lend themselves to Linux printing. I did a little research and found that most of the Epson Stylus Color printers did. A little investigating on eBay showed that they were selling quite reasonably and that ink cartridges were economically priced. I bid on a couple before I was finally successful in getting a Epson Stylus Color 440. Setting it up was a piece of cake using the utilities included with PCLinuxOS 8. Now all I have to do is install a compatible sound card and I will be set.
