[ale] Need help printing from Kubuntu

[Linda L. Hull.]

James,

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I can't seem to find
HP 7210 on http://www.linuxprinting.org/.

It's an inkjet all in one, print fax scan.

Zeph had us buy it because of it's compatibility with Linux.
It wasn't cheap (or at least not to us).

I don't know where he found the drivers for it, it was a lot
of work, more than he expected, as I recall.

Linda
