I did not asked about that. I asked what *you* were speaking/referring to when you talked about "PDF printers". Side note: do you known what's the required/recommended memory to directly print to PDF? And what happens with PDF v1.7, will you have to buy a new module for supporting the new upcoming standards? >:-) > [Snip] > >> Anyway, you did not respond to the question about what you consider to >> be a PDF printer. > > I rather think I did.

When you get to Squeeze or Wheezy you can join in too. All my printers support PostScript directly, why should I ignore that fact?
