Hello!:
Thanks a lot for your help, but I've back it to the shop, I've not found
the way to put the ink cartidges to the printer!!!, a device without any
button is a Windows-like one :((, so I'll wait and but a HP o anything
better supported with Linux.
Thanks a lot!!.
Only a question please, why a ftp.terraplex.com... kernel? Can't I
compile a "standard" kernel from ftp.kernel.org, or I need many
patches???. It's something I can't understand...
Regards.
