Careful with this one.  Yes, Win95 has a postscript driver.  It does not
have all the printer description files, etc., to support even the printers
listed in the printer setup procedure.

I have a LW Select 360, which I'm driving as a IINTX because Apple doesn't
yet have the Win95 support ready (or didn't last time I checked, a few weeks
ago).  What I lose is 600dpi printing (from Windoze only), which is one of
the two features I bought the printer for.  (The other feature is the dual
connectivity, which Apple does support if you buy the right printer.)
