Like HP, for instance, has a pretty good connection to the Linux/Unix community and has apparently been pretty forthcoming with information in support of linux drivers for HP printers. But, as far as I know, the drivers are not actually written by HP. -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://keys.gnupg.net -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
