Does anyone have any experience of how restrictive the new trend of
GDI or WPS lasers can be when printing large files ?

Also, most GDI printers only have around 0.5MB of memory.  I have seen
that the minimum requirement is 4MB in the host machine.  Is this
realistic ?  Would a 8MB machine running Win95 cope ?

One printer that is now very cheap is the Brother WL-660.  Does anyone
know if this is a GDI or a WPS type ?

Thanks for any help.
