But what about their Linux compatibility?
BTW
A few days ago I've checked the HP' www site, looking for operating manual
for my brother's printer, and I've seen the big mark "We support Linux".
(http://www.hp.com/pressrel/apr99/20apr99a.htm)
I hope, there comes the time when the big hardware companies (at least
these ones, which don't rely on M$ financial support or not bound with
different "strange" agreements) will provide Linux support to build up
their image...
