You're not going to like this (I know I didn't!), but, from /usr/doc/magicfilter/README-StylusColor.gz: --- You may wonder if it is worth trying the original model or the 'II' model if you have a Stylus Color 400. The short answer is 'no'. There is no support for hardware that uses proprietary interfaces among developers of free software and there would be no interest to support hardware that is as expensive - after all - you got a printer that has next to no internal data processing abilities but you paid nearly as much as you would have paid for a 'smart' printer who does have this important feature. Enough said. Buy a real printer. --- That said, I've worked up a perl filter for mine that allows plain text printing _only_, but sometimes gets page lengths wrong and doesn't print tabs at all (and probably has other defects that just aren't coming to mind). But I'm looking for a new printer... -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
