The Brother supplied ppd's for my HL-3170CDW color laser do not strip and
reformat html that well. It does quite well on most web jobs, like
printing the order ack when I buy something online, but to do a web page
is asking a bit much. I have done it, but it usually results in a trip up
the hill to saw down some more dead trees to feed it.
Thanks Bob.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
