The last time I looked at new printers, the "direction of travel" was entirely driver-dependent, RIPping the PostScript, PCL, or straight ASCII in the driver, rather than in the printer's own processor and firmware, and anything that could RIP a PostScript data stream directly would have cost a fortune.-- JHHL
Hi,I second this, I had to change my printer in a hurry recently and I couldn't find anything I liked locally, so had to settle on an Epson (ink). I had very bad experiences with this brand in the past driver wise, but this time I saw CUPS use automatically the "driver-less" stack and I was printing seconds after plugging the machine in. Maybe it doesn't provide advanced features, but for a simple printer (not "all-in-one" scan/print/whatnot) it works very well, even for image printing.
