Ruth,

I am not familiar with scanners, but color printers work fine.

You can use ghostscript to convert from postscript to the local printer
language.  Also see apsfilter to make it easier to use.  The handbook has info
on printing, but apsfilter and ghostscript will take care of most of it.

I personnally use a Epson Color Stylus 600, and have used an HP Deskjet 870Cxi.
