Ah, a GDI printer. GDI is a microsoft system and the

A guy buys windows crap and complains about support!
Another one said recently "inexpensive" is "cheep" and
"cheep" is shit.
I was using a 15y/o HP 4L until last year, when it finally gave up and
maintenance cost was higher than buying a new one.
Buy a decent printer and be happy. I bought HP 402dn - will work the next
15y. It pays off over time, believe me.

Eventually I want to try installing the Panasonic Windows print utility
in a Windows VM. Would seem to be a complete waste, but *shrug* if it
works, so be it...
Anyone ever tried that (printing from a Windows VM on a Linux box)?
If you have windows already, or with a new installation (either real or
virtual) just share the printer and let Windows do the processing.
