If anybody ever feels like tossing a working postscript printer out the
window, please give it to me instead :-)  My office printer is an Epson
LP-8300 and it's not Postscript and there's nothing in Ghostscript for it,
so I'm screwed for printing under Linux.  If I want to print a file, I
have to park it in my Windows 95 partition, open it with a Windows app,
and print it.  The guy across from me who uses FreeBSD has the same
problem, but worse: he doesn't have Windows on his machine at all, so he
just plain can't print.

If anybody ever does run across a Ghostscript driver for this printer,
pleasepleasepleaseplease tell me where I can get it :-)
