I have spent the last 3 nights solid trying to get some sort of colour print system working. I cannot do it. I have downloaded at least 5 different and totally incompatible print filtering systems. I am sure this would be real easy if I could afford several thousand pounds/dollars on a colour postscript laser printer, but no, I want to use a small ink jet from Epson. I have decided, to save what is left of my sanity, that it is time to junk FreeBSD as a viable desktop operating system and revert to the clutches of Bill and his MicroShit software. Where I will put up with the never ending Blue Screens safe in the knowledge that at least I can print (Awful lot of profanity removed). I apologise for my language. Apart from this small minor problem of (Another amazing amount of profanity and in CAPS, I didn't know I knew so many naughty words) (again I apologise), I have to say that FreeBSD is quite a fantastic piece of joint effort, I salute you. I will continue to use FreeBSD as my servers and Internet gate way. Thank you. --==_Exmh_-1599654010P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.3.1 01/18/2001 iD8DBQE6zjl+iTCzTVFwd6wRAonJAKDFhspDpot1gQLlNOmHg9/tJdITqQCgh7zv 1D8LwjYJ6Z+lzkne1GXlQWU= =ushF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-1599654010P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
