I recently became the proud owner of a NEC Silentwriter GDI Laser 
printer.  This type of printer has no processing capability of of's own.  
The processing power is provided by windows.  I have driver for windows 
and windows '95 that came with the printer.  I am curious to know 
whether or not linux, or indeed any flavour of unix, can support GDI 
printers.

This is not really a problem for me, but more of a curiosity.
Cheers.
