Exclamation first time user
Hi,

I am using mandrake linux for the first time. I was wondering if some one can help me with the following things


1. change font size
2. How to attach printer to this os? My comp has disk partition between WIN 2K and Linux. This printer works with WIN2k, I believe some driver is needed for printer to hook up? Can anybody tell me what s/w is it? if it is available for free anywhere?

Anu.

To help with fonts you should let us know what desktop environment you're using:KDE,Gnome or ....what?In KDE you go to Configuration>KDE>LookNFeel>Fonts.
Use Mandrake Control Center to set up the printer.What kind of printer is it?
Maybe it's not supported.
HTH

Lynch is asking all the right questions ... and you might also stop at www.linuxprinting.org for some excellent info on using your specific printer with Linux.

Hope this helps.
