Re: GLUG: printing under WP8

["Bernie Amler" <bernie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I spoke to the Epson crowd at Computer Faire.  They advised me that all
drivers for Epson Printers for use with Linux are available on the Epson
GERMANY web site.
I don't have the URL and have not personally checked it out, but give it a
try and let us know.

Linux is like a wigwam - no Windows, no Gates;  Apache inside!
