Subject: Printing in Linux

Just thought I'd drop a note, as to printing from Linux, I normally use a 
program called cnprint.  It's definitely worth a quick search at 
Webcrawler or Altavista.  CNPRINT is a nice way to print Japanese 
text... It basically turns the text file into postscript, using .hbf 
style fonts... I use 48 point fonts, which seem to print fine on my 
360dpi ink jet (they don't look too terribly jaggy) ^_^

Anyway, its output works with the standard Ghostscript distribution,
and it might be the easiest way to get Kanji printing under Linux...

And btw, I happen to like the lame pictures :P
