- You shouldn't need to do anything to get it to work. If your lpr is
- setup sensibly it should work straight away.

-
- 1) As of 1.99m, the PostScript produced is a bit broken:
- a) It won't work with Aladdin GhostScript 3.x. Use GNU 2.6.1,
- Aladdin 2.6.2 or a real PostScript printer instead!
- b) Word 5.0 just prints blank pages
