Digital BW, The Print

Nuts! It's tempting, but I haven't the time or desire at the moment to
again wrestle with Linux and/or GIMP. Maybe someday when I finally get
a Mac... If I read the info correctly, Gutenprint is fully compatible
w/ OSX 10.2 and above, supposedly superior to OEM drivers, and no
longer tied to GIMP.

Thanks for the heads-up, Darrell, and good luck.
