I don't print from my atari ever. I print from my Atari quite a bit and would do more but I feel it is an area that has been neglected a little bit. It's always the last thing that developers add to their applications ;-) A few years ago I asked about the porting of linux printer stuff to FreeMint, stuff like CUPS but I get the impression there are several hurdles in the way. It would be good to be able to use a better driver for my Canon or have the possiblity of using new printers if we get USB functionality. Regards, Peter
