Quick question on printers...

Hi group,

Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place, but this seemed the most likely group to help with my query.

I own, and am reasonably happy with an Olivetti Any_Way wireless printer. I have two Linux (Suse 10.3/KDE) desktops and one, identically setup Dell laptop. My primary PC is also dual boot, with Windows XP installed.

No drivers for Linux were supplied for the Olivetti and so at the moment, if I need to print, I need to boot into windows.

My question is this... Is there anything available for printers that operates in much the same way as NDIS does for wireless cards, enabling me to use windows drivers? Failing that, is there any other means of using my currently Windows only printer through Linux.

I have approached Olivetti, but the omens are not good.

Best regards from a relative newbie,

Timfy
