With apologies to Graham - an email I missed earlier. The poll is updated.

I did buy a Debian DVD but I kept getting a corrupt data message and GUI refused to work. I bought the Big Dummies Guide to see if I could fix it. It had a Fedora Core 1 disk. That does work well so I had this funny idea that Core 3 might work better and solve my printer problem. Silly me!
