[Freemint-list] Printers

[Stefan Niestegge]

Hi,

i successfully use a Samsung Laser printer connected to my home network
using "Easy Remote Print" from Probe House Software:

I wrote my last resumee with Papyrus and it works great.
The Printer needs to support PostScript, what lots of printers do.

Greetings,
Stefan
