(thank you, Adobe, for No but practical matters like budget (home not work) and the desire for A3 printing and scanning intervened between the ideal printer spec and the chosen purchase which was as always a compromise. OTOH it's still going strong eight years (mostly light with short bursts of heavy use) on and it has never done anything nasty - so it ain't broke so there's no excuse to fix it with "ooh shiny" even if it isn't exactly a great printer. > what you have done tin the past, postscript is one of these things!). Indeed a networked PostScript or PCL printer is simplicity itself to drive. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:\>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
