Well, part way.  I'm running gs-aladdin 5.50 (Debian packaging).  The printer
is run via apsfilter, set up for PCL4.  Seems to work fine, if no fireball.
It would be much faster to have a true PostScript printer (like at work).
No real complaints so far, though.  Nice printing.  If it is more reliable
than the Brother printer that it replaced, I will be quite satisfied.
