Ghostscript supports alot of printers and the tools for setting them up are good, so I wouldn't be too conserned with this. > One thing I would look for is an ethernet port. Most personal printers won't have one. HP adds this functionality to personal printers via external JetDirect printservers. JetDirect servers that use ethernet start at $150. If you printer is USB only, HP makes the only prinservers I've seen so far that support them. If your looking for a network soultion for your personal printer(s) I recoment the Netgear print servers. Pretty slick setup via the windows software, or by simply editing the config file and transfering via ftp. Seems that not every option in the config file is documented, but that's ok. The ones you need are. It's a slick lille embedded device that support LPD and SMB printing (as well as some less common forms of network printing.) I have one running a printer in the office. Thinking of getting one for myself. To print to one of these to a non-ps printer in linux you would have to use lprng as lprng supports filtering print jobs before sending them to a network spool.
