All printers and plotters connected to the parallel or serial port
should work. Alas, some manufacturers have created Windows 95 only printers. Check Appendix D for Linux incompatible hardware.
Many Linux programs output PostScript files. Non-PostScript printers can
emulate PostScript Level 2 using Ghostscript.
