I have a curious story. My father bought a HP printer on which his mac would not print. Then, he asked me to check it out one of thouse lazy sundays.
I googled for a while and found a howto (sorry, I don't have the URL) on how to install CUPS on the mac. The last step was to copy the printer driver for that specific inkjet model FROM A LINUX DISTRIBUTION. Worked like a charm. It was 2007. Since then, I HAVE to agree with Dick: Linux has amazingly good hardware support Regards On Sun, Jul 12, 2009 at 12:13 AM, Weiqi Gao<weiqi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > [I'm 15 minutes into #266 and I have to pause the podcast and shoot this > email out.
