An HP printer will work fine. Take a look at apsfilter in the ports (/usr/ports/print/apsfilter) which will help you set up a printer so that it can print anything. I'm using an HP DeskJet 695C and can print web pages, postscript, flat text etc with no problems. I've also got it set up so I can print from Windows machines across the network using samba (/usr/ports/net/samba). -- Kevin Street street@iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
