    Like now?  I don't know what model you have, but here's some hope:

    None of the hits I'm finding suggest it's perfect to any extent, but
there's hope.  Maybe HP will have something soon?  They're Linux-aware;
maybe they're working on it.

    I guess I'll have to check with a service bureau; at least we have
one of those in this town...we're not completely low-tech.  :/

    Thanks!
