where do i find drivers for linux

i have a 2yr old Compaq I-J650 Printer that works fine in windows systems.... i even have the drivers on a CD

I bought some gamepads (controlls) for the pc so i can play some games on linux like "clanbomber" for up to 4-8 players.... and that didnt work either, i bought Logitech gamepads and Microsoft ones too...

thats about it, i dont know how to install my printer! or the controls and i do have the drivers on cd...

any help anyone? I got linux to do 90% of what i wanted to do with it, im happy, i just need 2 more or about 10% !!!!

linux needs to print! and it needs to have a peer2peer program like gnapster (which i dont know how to install) or kazaa

For your printer check out
http://www.linuxprinting.org/

You can install Kazaa using wine, it works fairly well.

Also there are a few gnutella clients, and limewire.

Are you sure that it is a 650?

This is all I was able to find.
http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer...gi?make=Compaq

If it the 750 or above then you look to be good to go
If no then I have no clue. You could try the 750 drivers.

What are the exact models of the gamepads?
