Not along the same lines of interconnectivity and sharing... And not ALPS-related...

When you're in the market for a new printer, take a look at PShop (not Photoshop )

Seems like a nice print processor for (many flavours of) Unix.

Oh.. And with regards to Ghostscript... I was just doing some light reading.. If you have a supported printer (from its driver list) then you can skip using GSPRINT (and I did just read that gsprint is faster/better than the older mswinpr2 (which then talks to the actual windows printer driver)).

My printer is PS and connected to my ethernet switch. It lives at a fixed IP.
