Both "PS" and to a lesser extent "PCL" are becoming passé. You might want to seriously consider "PDF". The better Brother printers fully support it as do some of the better printers from other manufacturers. You might want to check out for further details. The "PS" format is going to become considerably less important in a relatively short time in my estimation. By the way, have you considered a USB to Ethernet adapter? Totally untested with a printer, but it might work quite well. If it works, you could plug it into a wireless router and print from anywhere sans nasty cables, etcetera. I print wirelessly, and I love it. It "just works" and it makes my life simpler. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
