I think that debian has spoiled me. I've got an HP Deskjet 670C
and all I did to get things up and running happily is install
the package apsfilter (5.1.4-1). IIRC there was a minimum of tweaking
involved (it was a long time ago.) Now all I have to do
to print almost anything is `lpr filename'. It handles both DOS
and *nix text, Postscript, and DVIs, amongst other things; just send
'em straight to the printer.
