RE: Should we accept this?

I have a *slightly* older HP 840C at home, which works out of the box on
RH8.0 with very good quality.  RH8.0 ships with a fairly recent version
of hpijs, so the same can be assumed for RH9.0.

The only change that I made was to apply a non-official patch to hpijs
which opens up a few extra features normally available in the Windows
drivers for the HP 840C, and improves the output quality a little more.

HP have certainly been ahead of the rest when it comes to Linux support.
It will be nice when the others realise that there is a growing market
there and catch up, because as much as I like HP printers, there are
better units out there for high quality photo printing and the like.

Cheers,
Brad.

Brian,

Do you know whether it works out of the box using a RedHat 9.0, Mandrake
9.1 or SuSE 8.2? FreeBSD and Debian are notorious for taking a long time
to catch up in some areas (and printing is one of them).
