    The information in this FAQ came from postings to
    comp.periphs.printers, information which vendors and readers
    of comp.periphs.printers have been kind enough to send me, and
    information I had on hand. Any errors are, of course, my own
    fault. If you see something wrong, please let me know and
    I'll correct it as soon as possible. Remember, as with most
    things involving the Internet, your own mileage may vary.

    Special mention must be made of the contributions made by
    Johannes Schmidt-Fischer <jsf@ifconnection.de> who's
    actually written HUGE amounts of this. Thanks Johannes.

    Additionally, I must recognize the help of Arthur Muller
    <muller@fwi.uva.nl> who's been able to provide contact
    and world wide web information on lots of vendors I
    didn't have. Thanks Arthur.

    Several of the BBS numbers in Subject 10 came from the Technical
    Support BBS'S Commercial and Shareware document produced by
    <gary.barr@digicom.com>. Call Digicom BBS at 812 479-1310
    for the latest version of his list, which includes lots of
    additional hardware/software support bbs'.

    Some formatting ideas for this were taken from the CDROMLAN-
    FAQ maintained by Greg Gibbs <angjg@orion.alaska.edu> and
    from "FAQs: A Suggested Minimal Digest Format" by Chris
    Lewis clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca.

|  UNLESS THERE'S A BIG RESPONSE TO THE CONTRARY, I'M GOING TO DELETE
|  THE FOLLOWING NEXT TIME... I APPRECIATE ALL THE CONTRIBUTIONS, BUT
|  I'M GOING TO PUT THEM WITHIN THE TEXT INSTEAD OF DOWN HERE.
