My wife and I recently installed RedHat 5.2 on our systems, and now we're looking for a new ink-jet printer. The Ghostscript documentation has a list of printers that it's compatible with; unfortunately, since the manufacturers change their model numbers every six months, most of the ink-jet printers on the list are no longer on the shelves. One of the items on the list is "Epson Stylus Color", with no model number -- will a Stylus Color 440 work with this driver? According to the specs on Epson's Web page, the printer language used is "Epson ESC/P Raster". Epson's tech-support Web page lists several other "Stylus Color" printers that are no longer being sold. (I suppose the ideal way to test this -- and many other hardware-compatibility issues -- would be to make a Linux-on-one-floppy distribution containing Ghostscript, take the floppy down to the computer store, plug a floor model into some random PC, reboot the PC from the floppy, and print out a test page. I could do all of that ... except for the first step. :-) If nobody knows the answer to that question ... does anyone know where I can get a decent refurbished HP DeskJet 500C, 550C, or 560C? -- perl -le"for(@w=(q[dm='r 0rJaa,u0cksthe';dc=967150;dz=~s/d/substrdm,\ (di+=dc%2?4:1)%=16,1ordi-2?'no':'Perl h'/e whiledc>>=1;printdz]))\ {s/d/chr(36)/eg;eval;}#In Windows type this all on 1 line w/o '\'s" == seth gordon == sgordon at kenan.com == standard disclaimer == == documentation group, kenan systems corp., cambridge, ma == - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
