This should be a FAQ: do yourself a favor and get a printer that supports postscript. It will work with little effort with most UNIX-based program (because they usually support postscript output) and with most spoolers. A postscript printer is probably a bit more expensive than others, but if your printer doesn't work it doesn't matter how affordable is was; it is just an expensive paperweight.
