Dear sir,

I am Company Secretary of Kerala Shipping and Inland Navigation Corporation 
Ltd. (INDIA), 
a Govt. of Kerala Company engaged in Inland Navigation. I amincharge of 
computerisation 
of this Company. We have invited tenders for this process and it is in the final 
stage. 
Being interested in the Linux platform we had emphasised  this in the tender and 
asked the parties to quote for both windows and LInux platforms.

As a trial I have installed MANDRAKE linux in one of the machines. The installation 
went 
smoothly. i installed the OPEN OFFICE as the office suit.

But now I am facing a problem that none of our printers is supported by Linux. 
We are having the following printers: (all dot matrix printers)

1. Epson LQ300 ESC/2
2. Wipro LQ1050
3. EPSON FX 1170
4. TVSE MS P345

Can you advice me about how to install the printers to get OPEN OFFICE 
documents print properly
(I can print plain text using the printers.)

Since there are number of letters and other documents are prepared this is crucial 
to determine 
whether to go in for LINUX system or not

Regards,

RAJU V.K
