Printing in Linux w/ HP Deskjet 660Cse's?
Jason Osborne asks:
"There is one thing though Windows seems to
excel at and that's printing. I have an HP
Deskjet 660Cse and I can't get it to print
correctly. I have searched the Internet
endlessly and have tried many filters and
daemons including both the original BSD
print daemon and the somewhat newer LPRng
daemon. I have seen many filters designed
for HP Deskjet printers, it seems none will
work for me. Does anyone have any
information or filters on/for printing in
Linux with HP Deskjets that may help? Are
there any future development plans by
HP or the Linux Development Team
for any additional and more up to date
information and drivers for the HP Deskjet
660Cse serious and other such 'Made for
Windows' type printers? "
My take is that if the printer says 'Made for Windows'
on it, then it's a closed architecture and
likely that its specs will be unavailable to
anyone without a hefty price-tag and an NDA.
Does the HP 660 series fall under this
category? I miss the days when
hardware manufacturers actually cared if
their products were getting used by everyone
as opposed to everyone running a particular
operating system. Something is inherently
backward in how things stand today.
