YellowDog, and LInux in general, are free downloads (GNU license and 
all that), you don't (have to) pay for them no matter how long you're 
running them. It's not shareware. Of course buying YDL disks (which 
I've also done) eliminates some hassle and maybe some frutstration, 
plus supports the effort. And TerraSoft in particular is the only 
Linux distro that I know of that's Mac only, why I like them.

That's what this list is for ... of course I would love to help you 
get your printer to work, but I probably wouldn't know how to either. 
But there are lots of other listees who do -- if you ask ...
