I send from my Wordperfect 7 (demo) to my Cannon BJC610 through magicfilter. I tried several postscript printers, and none of them worked. Then I went to the WP7 page and downloaded an additional driver for the BJC610 as it was not included in the HUGE download. I tried it first without going throught magicfilter, then tried it through magicfilter. It worked either way. /*********************** Running Debian Linux *********************** * For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, * * that whoever believes in Him should not perish...
