Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO: Printers/Plotters Next Previous Contents

21. Printers/Plotters

All printers and plotters connected to the parallel or serial port should work. Alas, some manufacturers have created Windows 95 only printers. Check Appendix E for Linux incompatible hardware.

  • Epson Stylus Color 850. Use Magicfilter with either of the filters 'stylus800-filter', 'stylus_color_360dpi-filter' or 'stylus_color_720dpi-filter'.

21.1 Ghostscript

Many Linux programs output PostScript files. Non-PostScript printers can emulate PostScript Level 2 using Ghostscript.
