Having given in to my SO's nagging and decided to buy a new printer, my next task is to make sure it works with our favourite OS before handing over the cash... The printer in question will probably be from HP simply because I've never owned/used one that gave me any trouble, whereas the same cannot be said for certain others :-( Anyway, looking through the specs for the current crop of Deskjets, many of them apparently use something called 'Printing Performance Architecture' -- these also seem to be the models that don't even offer Mac support, so I assume the 'Printing Performance Architecture' is some kind of poxy WinPrinter thing that is best avoided. The rest of the range talks PCL Level 3 which I believe is fine for tools such as GhostScript et. al. Any confirmation that these are valid assumptions would be appreciated. Please cc: to me as I'm not subscribed to -questions these days.
