I am shopping for a system, and want to make sure that I get a printer configuration which works fairly well with FreeBSD and hopefully ghostscript. I was thinking of getting 2 printers (one color inkjet and one monochrome laser jet). My questions become: 1) I would like to get high resolution color output on the inkjet, do people have specific printer recommendations (I was considering an Epson Stylus 850). Are there any good inkjets with native postscript support (I'd be willing to pay a bit more for it I guess). 2) Is there any recommendations regarding PCI cards providing an extra parallel port that I should be aware of (one vendor here is pushing SIIG cards)? 3) For the printer suggested in (1) how can I get the best output quality if I must use a software driver (e.g. ghostscript installation hints and options). 4) For a monochrome laser, is an HP1100 or HP2100 (if I feel rich :-) a good choice?
