PostScript (or sometimes PCL, but rarely) is preferred for most high-end printers (i.e. all colour lasers)... you just need a print filter with some extra descriptive information. CUPS (and the legacy Solaris print system if you use the Presto GUI) is point-and-click for selecting the right one. > > Scanning and fax are NOT supported in OI, as far as I can see! > I would like to be proven wrong: but xscanimage and xsane just crash. > It's not duplex, but I think there's a version for that at another 1-200 > dollars. There's a bug affecting libusb applications that's probably causing that crash. Any scanner supported by SANE should work. Faxing from printers tends to need proprietary software. You can use a plain fax modem, though. -Albert _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
