My 990Cxi, which has AFAIK the same hardware as a 970 prints prints very good with the cdj970 from harsch.net. My recently compiled gs 6.50, out of the ports tree, seems to include the drivers already. The results are good. But the windows drivers produce better output. Yes color and black and white printing works. The duplex mode of the 970's + 990's is also supported. -- _________________________________________________________ //Florian Bartels \\ || || \\---------------------------------------------------------// To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
