Having sorted a bit of time, thought I'd have a look at this PS printing
some folks seem so enthusiastic about.

Obviously still using the HP LaserJet P2055dn

On RISC OS: 
Printers+ 1.91a using a PostScript level-2 driver via JetDirect.
Printing through this I can use the PC 210 x 297 paper size and the OvPro
documents print correctly.

Unfortunately. Shift + Select click, PostScript Configuration window
doesn't have any option to control the resolution, so it prints at max res
all the time (Very wasty on toner).

Win PC side:
Installed the HP Universal Printing PS driver.
Printing through this I can use the PC 210 x 297 paper size and the OvPro
documents print correctly.

Unfortunately, again this has very little in the way of user configuration
and also prints at max resolution all the time.

So it appears while PS is sound in principle, the reality is somewhat
different.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Dave
