Printers with sole-source drivers like that make me nervous. If the driver or certain features doen't work on your system, it doesn't leave a lot of options. foo2qpdl doesn't appear to be in ports, but probably it'll build okay anyway. If it were me, I'd make sure that builds and runs first, making a port of it. Then test the output on a sample printer before buying. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
