a list of bad and good printers are definitely great! it will be a lot helpful when the new printer admins trying to find out why their printers pagecounting not work with SNMP. best of all, printer admin can also try to make a suggestion to avoid the bad ones while buying a new one. just let the hp/canon sales people know WHY you don't want their printers. hope that will force them think again.
