Hi, I am about to buy a new printer and my retailer strongly recommends HP's D1560 printer (USB). I am running ghostscript8-8.62_5 under FreeBSD 7.1 and I can't see this model listed anywhere in apsfilter. So I checked up the hplip site. The site says that the D1560 is indeed supported, but it also says that the minimum version of hplip required for this is 2.8.5, while the latest port available is 2.8.2. Please check out http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet/deskjet_d1500_series.html The site actually lists hplip version 2.8.5 as the minimum requirement for the entire D15XX series, and a whole lot of other deskjet printers. Should I wait for a port update or do you think version 2.8.2 is capable of handling the printer ? -- Thank you and Regards Manish Jain invalid.pointer@gmail.com +91-99830-62246 NB : Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer.
