H.P.\ software is just horrible in general. They are one of "those" companies
that treat Linux users as second-class citizens. The ppd files they distribute
are full of bugs; I remember spending multiple weeks fixing the description file
for their then-newest home printer, and I still never got the scanner working
(their own software segfaulted, and customer support told me to download Windows
as a fix). After a while, I gave up and bought a Lexmark B2442 laser printer,
since I only ever print text documents. It has never given me any problems.
The `ppd` files work out of the box. Coming from H.P., it is a lovely
experience.
