    I use djf with my HP500C, for black and white printing it works just
    fine!  This is under 3.0.

    NeXT doesn't really support non-postscript printers all that well, you
    have to hack the printcap.	I'm not sure why they seem to think
    everyone and his mother has (or even wants) a postscript printer when
    the output quality is the same.  Personally, I much prefer my HP.
