The muddier the better.
I hate having the simple life where there is only one option, or none :)
As it happens, I'm installing the demo sometime this week or next.
The wget trick isn't good enough for me. As a gimmick, it appeals to me
highly, but we just can't hide from the death of pcl any longer. (They are
starting to ship pcl6 printers that can't do pcl5 or lower). HP does provide
a sample unix source for generating pcl6 and I beleive ghostscript or
ghostpcl might be able to output it soon if not already, but its'd
inefficient to be making the servers cpu do all that graphics conversion all
the time. Same goes for the pdf emails more and more people demand. Have to
offload that cpu work onto the client where possible (which doesn't help
cron jobs but better than nothing).
