[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1745574, member: 46727"] Downloading from Sourceforge generally is safe. As far as the Gutenprint driver for your printer is concerned, it depends. I have used a Gutenprint driver for my older HP LaserJet printer and it worked well. However, not all Gutenprint drivers will work the same as the original printer manufacturer drivers but if that's all you have available, then you have no choice but to try it. Make sure you have a good backup in place before installing the Gutenprint driver so that you can always restore to back where you were before. [/QUOTE]
