They are one of "those" comp= anies that treat Linux users as second-class citizens. The ppd files they distr= ibute 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 wo= rking (their own software segfaulted, and customer support told me to download Wi= ndows as a fix). After a while, I gave up and bought a Lexmark B2442 laser pri= nter, since I only ever print text documents. It has never given me any prob= lems. The `ppd` files work out of the box. Coming from H.P., it is a l= ovely experience. --=20 Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA --2drs5ok6dpnzyu33 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEKpralop7ow7ykEEX0Yqw0r8lqKoFAl7SXpkACgkQ0Yqw0r8l qKqupBAAse7Z0e4NYDN8FsN36LUg62FsMqI61CftHXt8IIsym99kLzcQ5/vkp96D q9WFNKG3DoX55ONNiab+2UgG1TqbB5Ta6fPu9IGg7shoGUo35TEzqTz/cWlgNj9h eJt/ZATYzcueL+n2Cwykd2Gfawf+HsP/WbpI/XIXKkC6eR/c9doZyOihFgjOhNXo VbWH8E/faf7yXxDhNI9afshL64rgnrO8cq8aSLgfKghiRIYerI8ANz3nQ9I5kRYE oiyZwz8Lcl2vIhF44Wc/lDtAmmSMHoL2GE19ArqjMkcyr4xpPAhehnPYP+OWSBym oms3yDtDSDVVcLT0EPmeuFayKZosZPhNmtsbePEuYVAGhhHdhDt04DSvZSyTNiOs qzXpH2Aigj2MYldftFQhSWoMpU5GPRoS+wyhLAqdPsAyUwi6ggYC3HZeCj7pYvZL Ndj8HE5FMEKLYIuUte+OZcBQDfBAK5ww7U9IMd0otEZxsnxDZZxTJ55j/8oQoFq7 d5CgavweYYubp3/S8wxGtwrmjKyKe3tKzQ14p2TpKYuNhyZ1e6fjOZggMp45bTkF hu/xlDIsI4xybmZfvusoYJ0g/av9NKrwxNIZBFI6ClN6npJp9viduT5i82knfKEM aS3A8JiinilEDCvqnv6VoMFuEXpEb+wmAxoL0Fyo+Y5dw9LI0hA= =bLz+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2drs5ok6dpnzyu33--
