Hi Ted, don't worry about what your mail sounds, it is ok :)
You're right on every points. I do not need to print so much. In fact, I am translating the printing chapter of the handbook to french and I just wanted to test the parallel interface. I bought this printer for 70$ (approx.). In fact, it is just the cost for knowledge :) Yes I should have choose a compatible printer, but it was the cheapest one and I am sure I will have good results. Some website pointed me to the BJC-8200 driver and I got some results with the BJC-800 one. I am not a politic man but I think one company you may consider working for open source is HP, especially when they give the FBSD foundation important gifts. I worked for them and I had to change my job because of their restructuration plan (I was like a "collateral damage", not a directly "fired" guy). Everybody will have his point of view. I promised myself never buy Canon printers again after my i320. But for sure, when time will come for me to have an "everyday-printing printer", I will choose it carefuly, and spend as much money as necessary. P.S: a simple PS just about USB printers: the chapter I am translating (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/printing.html) said "USB is superior to RS-232 Serial and to Parallel for printing, but it is not as well supported under UNIX® systems." I will test USB connection of course and maybe submit an update for this chapter. -- Regards, Ivan. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
