Sure it did you filthy Linux using liar.
How many times are you going to tell this same story?

This time it's a printer.
Last time it was a scanner.
The time before that it was a monitor.

The story is always the same, Windows fails and Linux triumphs.

What a dorko..

You can just go straight to a particular printer, or you can list all
printers from a given manufacturer. Provides information about
printers, scanners, and fax products as well as a product selection
guide and technical support…<a
