No such thing as wasting money on Linux!!  There's always another way of
doing things in this great OS.  You'll find that most software prints only
in postscript.  You can use Ghostscript (which you probably already have)
to take the postscript and covert it into something your particular printer
understands.  Look into a majic filter that will take all different types of
files and tell ghostscript how to handle it.  This makes for a very usable
printing system, for instance, I can print something from star office in
postscript and a few seconds later my Canon BubbleJet is printing it.  For
particulars on how to set it up look at the printing howto,
http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Printing-HOWTO.html.  Also many new
distributions make it very easy to set up printers.  Redhat comes to mind,
you can set up a printer through the control panel, but I don't know about
Caldera.  Good luck.

Excellent day for putting Slinkies on an escalator.
