You might want to check out: <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting>. It appears that "ps" is no-longer the format of choice but is being replaced by PDF, a format that is natively supported by many printers. In addition, there is an active project creating a wrapper framework for the manufacturer's Windows/Mac OS X drivers, like the ndiswrapper for WLAN cards, which is something I suggested a long time ago. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
