Hello David,

them free to download? Surely it is in their interest to be able to sell
printers - not just to MS Windows users.
True, but consider the market;  Linux/FreeBSD, etc. account for what,
less than 10% of the pot?

Also consider;  Printers are sold (almost) at a loss.  Where the money
is made is in either ink or toner.

True but who needs cartridges or toner when the printer cannot be installed? Sprat / Mackerel etc.
