The driver is already available to the public on my sourceforge project:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/x125-linux/

I'd like to contribute my foomatic database files to the foomatic project, but
I'm unsure of where to submit them.

I'd also like all the major Unix vendors to distribute my drv_x125 driver so
that the printer will just work out-of-the-box like any other printer.

I suppose submitting an RFE for Fedora Core is one way but I can't figure out
the appropriate category.  Any suggestions?

What about the other popular distros?

Has anyone else already been through this process?

Thanks,
- Mark
