Hey,

Thank you everyone for your input I am overwhelmed by the helpfulness on
this mailing list! :)

After reading up a bit and trying some things out, me and my GF have decided
to go all the way and purchase, a wide gamut monitor and professional photo
11x14  printer.  I am however worried about printer drivers with these high
end printers and I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience/luck with
any particular printer under Linux.
