Keith: I believe you are correct and if and when we win the lottery, I
will buy a Postscript printer. :-) In September, I won a Compaq D300
EVO (which comes standard with Linux, but ours came with Win 98 SE) and
a Lexmark Z25 Inkjet printer. On the box, it says it works with Linux.
I haven't set it up to print in Linux yet, but I will do so ASAP, and
see what happens.It is connected to the Compaq box, which is now my
wife's machine.
Thanks for your comments, which are very much appreciated and Happy New
Year!
