[lug] Problems with Fedora Core 3

[ben bullard]

Actually working with my bro Tom  we figured out that it was a problem 
of putting the file where it needed to be. That worked.Now we're on to 
getting my Lexmark Z55 printer to work. The driver from lexmark is 
downloaded and we're trying to figure out how to get the file to where 
it needs to be to config.

Thanks,
Ben Bullard Newbie!
