I am not familiar with the 1200, but assuming that it is a newer version of the 1100, it should use the ljet4 driver of gs. I would recommend installing magicfilter and selecting the ljet4 filter. You might also consider the Lexmark Optra E312, which is in the same price range (~$400), but includes PostScript capability as well as PCL. I bought one of these several months ago, based on the recommendation at http://www.linuxprinting.org and am quite pleased with it. Bob
