    Easiest way to find out is to boot up a live CD/USB and see what works and what doesn't.

    The printer appears to have a driver for it. Looks like you'll need to compile it yourself, though.

    found a driver that works

    Tried the live disk but could'nt get the net, but loaded as clean install on my desktop and managed to get the net working..
