Yes I remember now that this led to no end for problems with CUPS when I was working at BYU. I had to really dig to find the real drivers (PS or PCL). Even good old standard LaserJets from years past now are only officially supported through this new, wonderful, 300 MB universal crap driver. This fact alone may be enough to remind me never to buy HP again. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
