I'm using (what was originally) a Mandrake 7.
It still uses lpd, but ghostscript has been replaced with 7.0 to handle
later .pdf formats.
I'm thinking of finally pensioning off my trusty Epson LQ400 and
replacing it with a laser.
Most printers that I have looked at have Postscript 3 emulation,
which I would expect to work at least partially using the
printtool to specify a generic postscript driver.
This seems to me to be the simplest strategy for side-stepping
the problem of finding a suitable driver. Although quite a few GS
.PDD drivers do exist.
In particular, I have looked at brother HL-1850/LT , HL-1670/LT
Question is, what solid experience of using these (or other)
postscript printers do list members have? What are the snags (Font name
conflicts is one that I have run into before for ex.) that I am likely to
hit? - I know! I won't miss them all , but i have to try ;-)
all useful comment gratefully received!
Regards, RJP
