Thanks all for your kind help, it's been much appreciated. Someone directed me to linuxprinting.org and a quick check of the database confirmed that the LBP-810 is most probably a "winprinter". linuxprinting.org rates my printer as a "Paperweight" and to quote the database "These printers don't work at all. They may work in the future, but don't count on it." :-( Oh well... I will continue to look for a solution, but I suspect the Linux operating system is not for me as long as I own this printer. Regards and thanks, Steve
