Wow, what a pain. My friend has a couple of Docucentre III printers, and now they
have a quite a few macs in the office. Getting black and white printing is easy.
Just use the generic Black and white driver, and your printing. Now of course they
want to print color.

So after trying everything I can think I come to find out the standard printing subsystem, which uses Gutenprint. I upgraded to the latest, which is version 5.2.4,

Ever want to process something external to your database or your rails app, such
as the contents of files. But you think rails is only good for database items?
Actually rails can easily adapt to handle any kind of data.

I started this a while ago as an experiment trying to give some insights into my way of reasoning. I choose processing of large log files as subject which should help me analyze problems on production systems. I do believe that this might also help others as log file analysis is a fairly common task.
