Introduction

Having recently installed Kubuntu, and on a different machine, PCLinuxOS, one of my priorities was to get my printers working. This proved very easy with my Samsung ML4500 Laser printer, which was recognized by the KDE Printer wizard, but problematic for my Epson R200, for which the necessary drivers were not included in the distribution. "NEW:" Debian has now been added - see Part 3. Also, there is now a small troubleshooting section at the end.

However; fear not! There are comparatively easy ways to overcome the problems and all will be revealed.
