They all come with a driver CD for Windows. Is this necessary? Can
Linux be configured to work without the disk? Note that my HP
Officejet 4200 works fine in KDE as KDE comes with the drivers
installed for it already, but a friend's Lexmark E120 does _not_ work
in KDE because there are no Linux drivers for it. What is the driver
situation for these print servers?

Thanks.

One quick check if if the print server supports IPP or LPR
protocols. Most recent models should support IPP. The "driver" disk
is probably a Windows setup program, and possible Windows 98
drivers. You can usually set up the print server using a web
interface. If it used IPP, chances are that CUPS will detect it for
you if it is set to detect network printers.
