HP Deskjet Printers??
Authored by: lamon on Mar 25, '02 02:43:55AM

I don't have Win 2000, but I'd say that the Microsoft lpd works only with postscript printers, or at least printers you have the driver of on Mac OSX.

I have a windows 95 machine at home, with a Canon BJC-6200 connected, which is not supported by Mac OSX. In order to print, I found a freeware lpd on the net that worked on W95 and set it up to pipe the input through ghostscript and then the printer. That way I emulated a postscript network printer which I could use from the mac.

I'm happy to say that results are quite correct, even when printing photos.
