I have an Epson NX420 printer that I finally got hooked up to my Compaq PC. I was able to get the printer running, but I have changed the ink cartridges and cannot get them aligned. These are not the name brand cartridges, which doesn't help the situation. Anyway, the MINT printer wizard has nothing in there about aligning the cartridges. I used to use a great little app that "talked" to the printer but of course that was Windows based. I have 2 questions:
1. Does the WINE app allow you use Windows based apps on the Linux OS?
2. If not, is there a work-around?
It did appear on the Linux printer wizard that if I knew what I was doing I could make the adjustments to the printer ink head manually, but I really don't want to try that. Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing, and I could probably figure it out, but how much ink will I waste in the mean time?
Thanks again, guys.
