Basicaly ever none GDI printer works, especialy postscript printers.
However, if you chose a xerox, i wouldn't even bother with their xprint
software, it had/has a nasty bug where when you have a space in a
pathname of a file you want to print, it does just nothing.
Just use cups as lp replacement and all should be well.

I have seen things you lusers would not believe.
I've seen Sun monitors on fire off the side of the multimedia lab.
I've seen NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate.
All these things will be lost in time, like the root partition last
week. Time to die.
