Where was this information available then? I keep asking this, this is
such an obscure issue that it surfaces only after I take a colour
document printout?
Even googling this issue I find very few articles referring to this
particular "drawback of Linux drivers".
It's a feature I would have expected to work 99% of the time. Calling me
out on being unaware of this specific bug is not very kind of you!

AFAIK, spending more money on hardware does not guarantee success with
Linux. I've had expensive hardware also fail to work on Linux before. So
yes, I understand that you need to state this, but I have been a Debian
user for over 8 years now and I don't need to be told this specifically.
