Hello, for various reasons I have to replace my slow and ancient 24 dot needle printer with a more modern 600dpi laser printer. Many of the SOHO laser printers I have considered so far exclusively work in conjunction with a special DOS, Windows or MacOS driver that preprocesses the page for them. This is of course no option for me as the printer is also to run under FreeBSD 2.2.5 using the usual GhostScript filter method. One of the few SOHO printers that does not seem to have this constraint (and that I still can afford to buy) is the HP LaserJet 6L. Therefore I am interested in experiences users have made with this printer under FreeBSD, especially when it comes to using GhostScript with it. But I am also interested to learn about other SOHO 600dpi laser printers that can be used under FreeBSD 2.2.5. -- Sascha Blank | "I prefer to work behind the scenes.
