H.P.\ software is just horrible in general. They are one of "those" companies |
| 10 |
that treat Linux users as second-class citizens. The ppd files they distribute |
| 11 |
are full of bugs; I remember spending multiple weeks fixing the description file |
| 12 |
for their then-newest home printer, and I still never got the scanner working |
| 13 |
(their own software segfaulted, and customer support told me to download Windows |
| 14 |
as a fix). After a while, I gave up and bought a Lexmark B2442 laser printer, |
| 15 |
since I only ever print text documents. It has never given me any problems. |
| 16 |
The `ppd` files work out of the box. Coming from H.P., it is a lovely |
| 17 |
experience. |
