Thank you and yes many newer printers will use an Old pcl driver....even
some lexmark winprinters can use a 500c hp driver.

I had completely forgotten about this as most of what my kids want to
print across the network is Photos from their digital camera. The
resolution of these older drivers is usually <= 600dpi and therefore not
extremely useful.

What's fun about this situation is when I send them to my grandaughter's
K6/2 350 running Xubuntu....to do what their 6 month old Dell with XP
can't do :-).    I just love that.
