Larry:
I'm certainly no expert on this, but in general, some of the CUPS printer drivers will work for unsupported printers. For example, we have a Ricoh copy machine at our office that supports IP printing. For the Mac you are supposed to purchase the Postscript package which is several hundred dollars. I played around with CUPS and tried some of the HP LaserJet printers and was able to get the copy machine working using the HP LaserJet 6 driver. I won't handle complex graphics stuff, but for text printing, it works really well.

The whole purpose is to replace the horrible ugly crappy (you get my point) Windoze PC and just have a Mac.
Thatnks for all your replies and I have learned something new, which is why I'm on this list in the first place! :o)
I believe I have an Epson Parallel-USB cable lying. I just know nothinbg about CUPS and GimpPrint, but I'll dig.
