No. There are PostScript-Printers out there - but your off-the-shelf InkJet isn't, and that's the reason why there usually has to be some sort of driver in-between. Which is either GS or, in case of PDF, the acrobat-* or any other PDF-printer-emulator. maybe you can go down the rocky road of automation here, remote-controlling acrobat reader. But I doubt that it wouldn't at least flash up with its window for as long as the printing lasts. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
