Try http://www.megaloman.com/~hany/RPM/libslang.so.1.html . This should do it. A note: I have found many times that the Google search engine does a great job of finding files, and it does it faster than any other search engine I ever saw. (Maybe their OS has something to do with this.) Let me know if it doesn't do it. Harry G

Hi Fred, I do not think that it is worth to install Lexmark's drivers for your Z52 ;-) Just look at www.linuxprinting.org . There you can find forums for almost all popular printers. There is one for Lexmark. Recommendations is "The easiest way is to use CUPS as the printing system. If you still use LPD or LPRng, uninstall your printing system and install CUPS (www.cups.org). If the offered binaries do not work, the source is easy to compile with "./configure; make; make install". After installation of CUPS you will find a configuration interface under http://localhost:631/ here you also find documentation. When you have installed CUPS from your Linux distro CDs, install also the development package of CUPS ("cups-devel", "libcups-devel", or "libcups1-devel". Now recompile GIMP-Print, but use the following "./configure" command line: ./configure --with-cups After "make; make install" re-initialize the CUPS daemon with killall -HUP cupsd Now the CUPS drivers of GIMP-Print are installed and you can install your printer with the above-mentioned web interface of CUPS. Having done so you can use the usual "lpr" command for all printing PostScript, simple text, HPGL, and many image formats. For easy access to the GIMP-Print options when printing, use XPP (http://cups.sourceforge.net/xpp/). If you want to stay with LPD or LPRng you have to compile GIMP-Print into GhostScript which is more complicated. How to do so is described in the README file of GIMP-Print." Audrius
