printing under WP8


hi all

I've just installed WP8 for Linux - I'm very impressed with it I must
say. The only thing that sux is that it didn't have my printer on it's
list of printers (I've got an Epson Stylus colour 400) . Is there a way
to tell it to use the printers I've defined in the printool? The print
tool I set up in Gnome ,but it works under windowmaker (I'm a new
convert to the joys of the fast and beautiful Xmanager!!) seems to find
and work with things like gnote pad and netscape. I've set up WP8 to use
the Epson EPS 4000(postscrip) and the Epson EPS 7000  which seem to work
but it's just so slow and the quality just isn't that great (well I'm
surprised it worked at all!) Are there drivers for the Epson stylus 400
(or any stylus) for Linux on the web? Or is it just a matter of fooling
WP into thinking that it's something similar?

Also is there a filemanager like the one in gnome/kde for wm I found xfm
but it's really dodgy to say the least! At least I'm having a crash
cource in linux shell useage -which really isnt a bad thing :-)

Any way thanks for all the help both past, presant and future

May the Force be with you all !


Regards

Justin
