Thank you for your reply.
From what I've read in the magazines, there is very little difference
between GDI and WPS.  The Sharp uses the WPS system which is meant to
be slightly better than the GDI (older) system.  WPS printers are
meant to have a little more intelligence and splits the processing
workload between the host PC and the printer.  As the majority of WPS
printers have no or very little processing power, then in reality
there is no difference.
