You asked about the "classic" printers we both (apparently) own. Mine here still support being addressed via LPR/LPD, not to mention PCL, postscript, etc. Can't speak for your users, but mine don't know their print jobs are (still) backed by LPD/LPR. But then again, they don't notice much beyond "does facebook work today". Good people, just not the most technical. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEBcqaUD8uEzVNxUrujhHd8xJ5ooEFAl3MC20ACgkQjhHd8xJ5 ooHzZAf7BpExETn7eRvrofmm7Ibr4+IZLwedZ1YnIBNfaLnAuh8uGDbnFM9uGpAq vHrwydaDxD5BoiRWwzuOtC+YezHpgznuHVyJK0mE53VAE4QqXRRe25vmHMfN5co4 dUJ1TcKdR5NJGNFJp8yqbZUrJvvQnIv1+nmchkp4KTscWOnX9Re6lke8IM7WLaYK saBvYKE1Mpp4dPX+4QH7oeqEhWJSwI2nbyFx1RbCZ9MwAw/rPlLy2IyThbZDGYUr l0WeF1liP4ougEK2ay8xlhru7LrHcUOp/KKdwSV/jqHmMazauQ++WjrVq0gePShy cr3Ob//iLagRVP2TNhUSkZhNCcXJuw== =rqgY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281
