OSX - i have seen somebody printing to a fc printer server (ok, it was
running proprietary filters... LEXMARK laser printers.... GRR!) from OSX
word, (the printer was picked up autmatically as long as it was able to
resolve the DNS... But every single one of them was named "created by
system-config-printer".... Oops!). And the 1 page with "hello, test!"
was 20 pages of binary rabble....
