Why "much to your surprise" when you didn't check the driver
situation for such a cheap (laser)-printer?
Maybe he thought that all HP printers were supported. I wasn't aware that
some are and some are not, too. It's a lesson for us all: check before we
buy, don't assume it will work in linux just because some other hardware
from the same brand works.
And even when we check we are bitten: I got a haupauge 1300 tvcard and it
doesn't fully work, for instance.
