I've switched my fiancee over to Edubuntu Linux and she's only having one problem so far. Our printer has no support under Linux. It's a Dell branded Lexmark that no one has made work with Linux yet. The printer is connected to an XP box and is shared over our network. Is there any way to setup a printer in Linux that prints to a "fake" printer on my pc and then my pc takes that print and sends it to my printer?

What I see working is a utility on my XP box that monitors a folder for new files (I.e. .pdf files) and whenever it found a new file the utility would automatically print it for me. We have used this type of program for printing to networked printers from a dos program on a Windows 2000 box at work and it was fine. But that only supports ASCII text.

Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions.

The printer is a Dell All-In-One 922.

Thanks!
