I wanted to add a hearty "amen" to this. I've had a really tough time
moving people to Linux at work, mostly b/c, as they say, MS Office is
compatible with itself, therefore we should stay on a platform that
supports that (Windows). That argument is absolute bullshit,
evidenced by the number of help desk calls I get per week of people
complaining about Office not playing nice with itself.
Now back to your regularly scheduled printing thread... :)
