    So why didn't you buy her (or have her buy) a Linux friendly printer? It's not like it's the Kernal Dev's or the Distro Dev's fault that the
    proprietary printer bastards won't provide decent Linux drivers. And it's not like it's hard to find a good list of Linux friendly printers,

    funny enough: http://www.linuxprinting.org/

    has a nice list and that took me only a minute to google. Keep in mind your easy to buy Wal-mart specials are going to be HP or
    Lexmark inkjets that have no Linux support, funny how that works.
