Support for newer canon printers is problematic as canon wont allow open sourcing of their drivers and refuse to supply drivers for linux
I decompiled a bother printer driver for linux, it was an absolute mess. Buffer overflows, hard coded values, code duplication. They didn't even turn on optimization in gcc (which thankfully made it that much easier to decompile).
I'd be interested in having a look at the canon printer drivers. I've never really looked into printer drivers on win32. Are they just .sys files or what?
