- Funny that. Maybe it's because the DRIVERS come with the PRINTERS, so
- if I go get the SuperWowzer Color Printer/Plotter/Porsche, I get a
- driver with it, and all my applications work, even though instead of
- PostScript it uses Tibetan Yak-Herder Lingo for a page-description
- language... I don't need a Windows driver, a WordPerfect driver, etc...
