Yes, this is true, many people, offers this sort of printing and publishing services are not highly technical. They go by the documentation and brochure given by the printer/equipment manufacturer, and usually these manufacturing companies issue warnings on the usages or illegal softwares. Many cases they issue recommended software packages. I think we must communicate these sort hardware manufacturers to include the free/open source software to there recommended list as most of them support and encouraging the free and open source community.
