Theoretically, you can use slap to drive a Seiko printer, or pnm2lwxl to drive a CoStar. The CoStar is supposed to work better and be a more elegant solution. I have had problems, though, getting mine to work -- the problems seem more hardware than software, but unfortunately i can't report real success. Good luck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
