Thanks, Kurt.  I remember 5 years ago coming to the old Caldera list 
pleading for help in getting WP8 to print.
I had just gotten Ol 2.2 installed, and  as a newbie was completely 
baffled by concepts like mountiing, permissions, /etc/printcap, printer 
destinations, etc.

Thanks to a lot of help from you, Joel, "Skippy" and other list buddies, 
I discovered the concept of printing RAW, and voil?; WP printed a 
legible document instead of giving my printer a severe case of paper 
diarrhea.

I got into Linux only because I wanted a reliable way to do my writing 
(other than WP6.2/DOS).  I got tired of BSOD's and printer errors that 
seemed to be part of the world as seen through Bill Gates' window.

It's been quite a trip.  Goes to show that an old fart can learn new tricks.
