I've got one (unfortunately). It's a Canon Multipass and the only
way I can print to it is via SMB having it connected to a dedicated
Win98 machine. It absolutely will not print under Linux unless I
turn it into DOS compat mode which took me an hour to find in the
docs before and has to be reset after each print. Incidentally, I
forgot how to put it into DOS compat mode and have no desire to
search the docs for an hour again. =( But yes, they do exist.
Stupid thing is, I have the right filter installed under Linux and it
won't print properly even thru SMB... ink comes on way to light on
90% of the page. Wierd.
