Hi Chris.
It might come to that.   The intention of CUPS is to be able to use
a wide variety of printers.   But I don't HAVE a wide variety of printers.
CUPS is  postscript friendly.  In fact everything (I think)  gets converted
to Postscript before  getting printed. 
If I put a bit of extra RAM into my HP Laserjet  lj1300  I could use the
internal PS interpreter,  and get a bit of extra speed,  but I don;t see 
that
it would be  worthwhile.

Thanks for the  post.  I'll have to think this one through.

Best regards,  and see you all on the 16th. at my place.
