OT: Printwizard support

[John Esak]

Wow, I would normally never chime in on this kind of a thread, but that
sounds like a very useful thing.  Good PCL5 to Postscript is still hard
enough on *nix and the best one I ever found was bo coup bucks (like $1,100
bucks from some guy in England.)  Converting the crazy PCL6 with all that
entails sounds truly amazing.  I know the PCL6 made all those $200 color
Laserjets possible, but being able to use the output that normally goes to
that kind of a brain dead printer... And connect to the PDF abilities
through postcript perhaps would be pretty valuable. Obviously, the pdf
attachment is more and more the accepted standard. So, this sounds like a
good thing for HylaFax.
