that seems to only support the newer printers, like the Stylus
family (at least that what it says it does), but I'll try it.

I got a "this driver is not installed" when I tried to use the omni
driver. Looks like it's only available for Linux?

yes, apsfilter/ghostscript setup is what I'm talking about.

Duh - if you go through that list one by one... do make note of the
'epson'. And I would expect that a search for

ghostscript LQ 550

would propably point you to the 'omni' or lq driver as well. I found the
epson to be fine though.

"treating it as an FX-80/RX-80"... what does that mean? I cannot find
anything about these models in gimp-print/ghostscript/
documentations.


Just run through the printing section in the manual to set it up.


I think I already wrote this: I don't have any problems printing plain text
on this LQ-550, but anything else gets out as either PostScript source
or junk.

Sorry if this message arrives terribly mutilated. Mozilla is the worst
email client I've ever seen (including all versions of Outlook), and 
I can't get it to behave.

I'm installing mutt.
