The same driver works OK with Knoppix (NV)

Epson LQ 500 is listed, but drivers do not work. Many have tried.
This is, or was a very common printer.

squareyes at ubuntu:~ $ sudo mount -t vfat -o
rw,unmask=000 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
Password:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
       or too many mounted file systems

Have read the man pages and like most of us who are not trained find
them to be of almost no use, can't understand them.
I will try to save as much info from these emails to windows using
knoppix as I can, so I can print it, and do a fresh install.
If that doesn't work, looks like back to man 9.1 and knoppix .
Am on a pension, can't afford a new printer. Getting too old for this.
Sorry to be a big pest, many thanks for all the info you have given
me.
