Re: Is ANYBODY there? (was: i/o error)

Hi,

It is very interesting that HP supports the linux kernel so vividly
(just check kernel.org) and yet their printers are close to the worst
support I have seen since I started using Linux. Even projects that
are completely free have better response than this. A change of course
is definitely needed to be taken by HP.... Especially because we are
paying you when we buy your printers, so the support (and development
of NEW software/drivers) should be *at least* better than those given
by free software contributors. I have a psc1210 and so far I can't
make it work correctly, not that I am trying, I did already and since
then nothing new happened to the project, so I don't think the printer
would magically start working if I continued trying.

Roberto.
