Well I have finally admitted defeat. I have spent the last 3 nights 
solid trying to get some sort of colour print system working. I 
cannot do it. I have downloaded at least 5 different and totally 
incompatible print filtering systems. I am sure this would be real 
easy if I could afford several thousand pounds/dollars on a colour 
postscript laser printer, but no, I want to use a small ink jet from 
Epson.

I have decided, to save what is left of my sanity, that it is time to 
junk FreeBSD as a viable desktop operating system and revert to the 
clutches of Bill and his MicroShit software. Where I will put up with 
the never ending Blue Screens safe in the knowledge that at least I 
can print (Awful lot of profanity removed). I apologise for my 
language.

Apart from this small minor problem of (Another amazing amount of 
profanity and in CAPS, I didn't know I knew so many naughty words) 
(again I apologise), I have to say that FreeBSD is quite a fantastic 
piece of joint effort, I salute you.

I will continue to use FreeBSD as my servers and Internet gate way.

Thank you.
