[geeks] Printers, Printers, Programming, Terminal Servers, and Writingish

[Mike Dombrowski]

Couple of questions here:

I'm wanting a label printer that can also do barcodes. Can anyone 
reccomend a good, small, serial label printer where the costs of 
materials is not too much? Unix compatablility is a must.

I also want a laser printer that understands postscript and has a 
network interface. 100baseT would be nice but 100baseT would work. The 
cheaper the better.

Third, I need reccomendations on a good terminal server. All I need is 
like 4+ ports and ethernet connection. Rackmount and internal power 
supply would be real nice.

All the recent talk about formatting languages and my long desire to 
learn one has sparked my interest but I have no idea which one to 
learn. Any suggestions for something? I'd really like it if there was a 
"Introduction to ..." or a tutorial website.

Lastly, I want write some GUI apps for X11. I know C++ pretty well and 
have been spoiled silly by BeOS's wonderfull API. But looking quickly 
at QT and GTK left me with a bad taste in my mouth, is there something 
better than these? Or a different language that would work? I'd like 
some cross-platform best which was why I was looking at QT but that's 
not absolutely necessary. I need to access databases and possibly do 
other simple networking.

If anybody has something for sale that would work for me please contact 
me off list. 

TIA 
Mike
