A little off topic, but when will printer manufacturers get a clue and
make all printers that accept jpg's, tiff, png, pdf, open document
(LibreOffice), and MS Office files natively? This would eliminate the
need for printer drivers. Oh well.

Not at all! Since Linux is the OS for many of these devices, the
software for interpretation is already available. As for updates, just
do like Linux does - call home (HP, Epson, etc.) to get new updates.
Routers do this as well.

I'm told that the more expensive printing systems seen in copy centers
already do this, so it is not at all anything new or hard.

Dave,

Too phunny.... !!!
