If all you're using is IE and printing, you maybe be able to just run IE |
| 26 |
under wine. See: ies4linux, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ . There isn't an |
| 27 |
ebuild for it, but one isn't needed anyways. The browser functions fine |
| 28 |
under wine (ie7 works too, but you don't get the fancy interface, just the |
| 29 |
new engine), but I don't have a printer, so have yet to test printer |
| 30 |
functionality. |
