    Bad news, Dave only supports printing to Postscript Printers with a PPD.
    You'll have to get PowerPrint or a similar product. It always seemed to me
    that those two folks should join forces and come out with a hardware free
    networked product.

    Me, I'd get one of the new cheap Epsons, or wait until MacOSX where it
    should be able to Ghostscript as a filter. (A trick I do on my Unix server
    to get around this very problem, but few folks have Unix Servers handy.)

    You could put your kids PC to good use, and install Linux :-) Now THAT
    would solve your problem.
