Hello All,

I have a SunBlade 100 running Solaris 5.9 in a home office environment.
  I would like to be able to print text documents from the command line
as well as print documents from Star Office and other GUI applications.
  I would like to be able to print in color as long as the hardware
isn't cost prohibitive. I noticed that Lexmark makes a line of printers
that are “Solaris Ready.” Do I have to use a “Solaris Ready” printer?
  Can I get any run of the mill inkjet to work with a SunBlade 100? Can
some of you recommend some printers and how to set them up, so that I
can print from the command line and print from GUI applications?

Thank you.

Pete Rohrman
