I've got an R200. I have never liked the way it works under Linux. If
I'm doing documents or whatever, I just use my laserjet now. I've been
tempted to see if I can get the R200 drivers to work under Wine. I've
never had much luck with Wine, though. Maybe I should get a little more
serious about playing with it...
