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.
