No, I've used the CUPS/ghostscript mashups to attempt to make hundred dollar inkjets work on linux. similarly handbuilt them on openbsd. neither with any reliable success. it's all unmitigated crap. That was about the time I threw the inkjets in the garbage and bought a 300 dollar lexmark color laser printer that speaks lpd and groks postscript. hang it behind an openbsd box as a spooler to keep it safe and I've never had any more aggravation, compared to the screwing up every second time the cups/ghostscript crap was used. Trust me - here's a nickel kid. buy a real printer that speaks lpd and postscript. You'd rather spend your time doing something useful like picking the lint out of your navel than dealing with the frustrations of cups/ghostscript and unsupportable crappy printers. -Bob
