[plug] Cheap Laser for Linux

[Shayne O'Neill]

Check for OS/X ppd files, I managed to convince kde to read em in and set
the printer up for a rather hugenormous printer/photocopier/scanner/rara
aat the student guild.

Folks kinda jaw drop as well when you tell em your using a Win2000 driver
for wireless and an OS/X driver for the printer.
