Hello dear fellow hacker,

This is my contribution to the free software world regarding GDI printers.
The driver is release under GPL and you may find interesting to follow a
series of articles about dissecting GDI printers (those infamous winprinters)
in my homepage 
	http://pragana.net - "Adventures in Linux Programming".

This software only works with the Samsung ML-85G.

To install it, first run make then make install and edit your /etc/printcap,
like the given example.
It support both A4 and letter sized paper, just changing your ghostscript
command.

Now it have a probing for the printer, resetting it if it was never reseted
before, so there is no need to manually setup it again.
