Well, then please talk to the authors yourself. We are not in an ideal world. There are differences and it takes time, experience and patience to hide all oddities to the user ... And for a non profit job we already aren't that bad ... Instead of "kind of yelling" you could simply join the team. If not because of "have no time" etc blah, think twice that Michael and I maybe also have no time .... Well this shouldn't become an excuse / complain session after solving your problem ... but I'd like to ask you to become more sensitive to problems of open source teams that the result are only as good as you have many "doers" and "testers". Printing is difficult, we have no uniq source of drivers thats simply a fact ... We like to improve but it goes faster if people actively help ... I can immediately create a developer account for you ;-) > Simple people like me will prefer their documents to be > printed the way they created them.

Unix is more powerful than Windows, but you have to spent some time first to RTFM ... But at least you get better support than under Windows for no cost ... So why do you complain ... if its too stressfull for you then go and use Windows and you'll see what you get ... > Anyway: Thanks for for your patience. Anyway, feel free to help or keep calm and thanks for your patience ;-) > Can I do some more testing, so that you can put the > hpdj 990Cxi into your list? Yes of course. Any help is welcome.
