    Not sure, but your printer listed in http:://www.turboprint.info/printers.html

    The free version printed turboprint logo but not in low resolution (still good enough for text).

    You shouldn't need to install drivers for most printers on Linpus (or any Linux)

    Go to the Settings button on your desktop, and click the printers icon. There should be either an "update" or "detect" or "scan" button (I can't remember exactly), but it will scan for and autodetect the printer for you.
