If I were you, I'd ask, but you're unlikely to get an answer to,
"Will this print postscript under Linux?" I've got an HP Deskjet
560J that refuses to print anything other than ACSII w/Linux -
and I've tried every filter known to HP to try and get Netscrape
to print - no joy. I've heard similar stories with other HP
printers bought in Japan.
