Samsung SCX-4200 printer

[Peter C. Lai]

What language does this printer use? I am a big fan of the minimalistic
BSD LPD/R, so I usually just whip up an output filter that cats everything
(since just about every app natively prints as postscript these days 
[besides gimp-app I guess]) to ghostscript. Works for basically any printer
with PCL or PS support (actually, with some of the the elcheapo PS 
imitations out there, usually PCL5/XL works better). To me, CUPS/Foomatic 
comes with some fancy PPDs and filters, but I think a lot of that is 
bloated since it does similar things under the hood but wrapped in more
layers of magic...
