  Huh?  You mean there's another way to connect a printer? ;)

  Umm, lp/lpr? ;) My main printer is a Tektronix Phaser550; a color
laser.  I frequently print various PDF files (primarily component
datasheets and such), diagrams from xfig, schematics from gEDA, and
stuff like that.

  Don't think printing real-world images, think printing color
documentation and such...fields of solid color, done absolutely
perfectly.  They're not continuous-tone devices.
