RE: Printers

["Paul Sims" <nospam [at] lombard.co.uk>]

General rule of thumb - if it comes with drivers for Dos/Win 3.x it'll work 
with just about anything. If you want gereal compatability just make sure 
it has PCL emulation, pref. PCL 3 or above.

I have  Xerox XJ6C, cost 40 quid from Makro, virtually unheard of. However 
, it does PCL3 so Linux uses it as a DJ500c. OK, it's not the full 1200 dpi 
that thw Windows driver gives but at least it'll print full colour at 
reasonable speed :)
