Yes, but only in theory. For example, we have a hp color LaserJet 2500L PCL6/PS capable printer, are using the PPD from hp that came on the CD, and can not get the printer to print correctly under Solaris no matter what we try. But send a print job from Apple OS X, it prints out beautifully. What to do? Well, after almost three years and a whole new set of toners, we're about ready to give up on getting that printer and/or Solaris to work. So now we're shopping around for a new printer. Needless to say, we've lost all confidence in PPD files and Solaris's ability to print reliably to a PS printer; did however visit the Solaris HCL, only to find one single printer listed as working there. It'd be nice if there were a list of Solaris ready printers on the HCL. This message posted from opensolaris.org
