I have discussed this with others over the last while. The
key to MAC and Windows printing so easily is that the OS
has the capability built in. All the browsers do is tell
the "ready made routines" what it wants printed and the system
does it.
It should be the same with the Amiga! The new owners should
put megabucks into printer handling and such. At least, that
is what I am coming to believe!!!
