Hi, I am not well versed in the best and worst of printers, but, I
believe that ghostscript does most, if not all the driving for printers
with linux. I could also be very wrong, so... Anyhow, I would look to
see what version of gs you are using or are likely to be using once
installed and look to see what printers are well supported there.
