PostScript Printer
==================

Just  a short  post today.  I  needed to  print a  paper document.  Our
printer is the networked one but I had it set up only for the Blackbird
(which have  been out  of service  for a while).  I never  find working
combination of drivers and printer on my wife's Ubuntu machine.

I haven't a proper printer setup  on the MNT Pocket Reform because it's
a portable device  with Debian (a system close to  Ubuntu) . I actually
never tried to do it here.


OK, but I need to print one document. So I set up the printer on my SGI
O2.  The IP  address,  the  type "generic  Postscript"  and... it  have
started to print!

Yes, when I was  buying that printer I was asking  if its' a Postscript
printer. So it is

So I applied the trick to Debian/Ubuntu machines, too. No special super
HP driver or other driver, no more decoding of printer name. IP address
and Generic Postscript. Done.


Well, I  noticed that  toner is  almost empty (after  years of  use). I
wasn't an  issue when printer was  not used but  it is a sort  of issue
when printer is able to print...
