[linux-help] Re: Printer on Red Hat 6.2

[John Reinke <jmreinke@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've used a very easy tool called magicfilter to set up my printer. I'm not
sure if it is available for RedHat, but it's a Debian package.

Actually, if magicfilter isn't available for RedHat, I need to find a
RedHat replacement also. The administrators at work need something that
will set up a non-postscript LaserJet printer to print postscript files and
images.
