While it may produce only PS output, that doesn't mean you're stuck. None
of hte other office packages for Linux (except for maybe Word ImPerfect
which I have not seen in its LInux incarnation) also produce only PS.
What it DOES mean is that you need to use the printer setup tools u nder
the GUI to set up Ghostscript and the print spooler to tell it about
what your printer really is. When I did it, told it about my Canon BJC
printer and it works just fine.

Probably can be dealt with by a kernel rebuild. Should not be difficult
at all, once you find the instructions for doing that. I don't recall if
they are in the Caldera manual or not, but they do provide extensive online
help (with links to additional web-based help), so you should be able to
find the gory details.
