But what about their Linux compatibility? BTW A few days ago I've checked the HP' www site, looking for operating manual for my brother's printer, and I've seen the big mark "We support Linux". (http://www.hp.com/pressrel/apr99/20apr99a.htm) I hope, there comes the time when the big hardware companies (at least these ones, which don't rely on M$ financial support or not bound with different "strange" agreements) will provide Linux support to build up their image... -- Wojciech Zabolotny [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org Linux - free OS for free people!
