We are sorry that there are errors in the table. We do our best to keep the data in the table correct, however, given the large number of devices and the fact that we only have a select few of them on-hand, errors are bound to happen. As our disclaimer says at the bottom of each table: "All information provided is believed to be accurate but is not guaranteed." Due to these circumstances, we have to rely on the Linux user community to help us locate errors such as this. We appreciate you pointing this out. > > I'd suggest changing that table to provide information about particularities > of the driver's support, and not whether the printer supports something or > not. i.e.: the "network" column would be used to warn when a printer DOES > have network support, but the driver won't be able to use it.

For example, the OJ G85 has fax, however, our table has "No" for fax for that device, because it is currently not supported by the software. In the case of the OP, there is obviously an error in the table, which we will endeavor to fix. > > It would be good to list the jetdirect devices from HP too, as only those > capable of doing the full job with snmp and various bidir data channels for > printing, (and maybe separate channels for scanning, fax, photocard?) are > going to work properly... writing the *requirements* for jetdirect-like > devices to provide full functionality would also be a good idea.

Unfortunately, we have limited access to these sorts of devices and consequently don't have a lot of info in this area. -Don ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
