Happy holidays again. Since I'm doing some hardware shopping, I might as well get your views about printers too. I have an old Epson lq-800. I installed apsfilter and tried printing to it. The result is slow, poor quality, form-feed- past-every-other-page-even-with-"suppress-form-feed"-in-the-printcap output. I know the printer can do better, I've seen it produce better stuff with some other OS. Is there some software I can add to get better results with this old pin printer. If not, can you recommend an ink-jet or a low-end laser that will give good results. Think inexpensive please. I really don't use a printer much, but I still haven't trained myself to do all my editing at the screen. Eventually I still need paper in my hands. Oh well. Thanks. Greg
