I've found my laser printer gets much better data rates over USB than it did over parallel, though. Personally, I like the idea of diking parallel port support out completely, and turning it off in the BIOS to free up an IRQ. But that's just me. If the gimp plugin for ghostscript bothers you, try magicfilter instead of apsfilter. Magicfilter seems like less bloat than apsfilter. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
