Where was this information available then? I keep asking this, this is such an obscure issue that it surfaces only after I take a colour document printout? Even googling this issue I find very few articles referring to this particular "drawback of Linux drivers". It's a feature I would have expected to work 99% of the time.

I've had expensive hardware also fail to work on Linux before. So yes, I understand that you need to state this, but I have been a Debian user for over 8 years now and I don't need to be told this specifically. -- Harishankar (http://harishankar.org http://lawstudentscommunity.com) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
