I just finished printing a letter in German. It took me a few minutes to set up the keyboard for German  letters and  I had to save the letter as a web page to print it, but it's OK. It's strange that Open Office printed  great on MS. I also printed some photos from  F-spot. They turned out great. But if there are some who would like something  better... Picassa  has a Linux version available. It is a really great photo manager. It lets you play around more and make some changes before printing. I just love digital photography, don't you?
