Yes Martin, The Epson will show up, but it's 10-15 times as expensive
to run than the Select 300; 1c versus 10-15c a copy. The bridge won't
work with the Select in X, which has Appletalk only.
BTW all, my neighbour tells me that Horton St. just got in a bunch of
HP M series Lasers, which will work with X!
TTFN,
