Christer Edwards: Ubuntu 7.10 vs Windows XP : The Story of the Hotel Printer
,----[ Quote ]
| I then click print in Evince and out comes the document. Done. You know,
| people still insist on telling me that they don’t want to run Linux because
| its harder, or that Windows XP just works for what they want to do. Are you
| kidding me? Just this evening it took me twice as much work to *try* and
| print something, which never worked. Ubuntu “just worked”… go figure.

Vista sends 49,693 page print job to printer
,----[ Quote ]
| Well obviously I didn't intend for this to happen. I chose file->print
| inside Firefox 2.0.0.1 running on Vista Enterprise. I just assumed
| it printed the one page I requested, but when I went to the printer
| in the next room, I discovered it was spewing out pages with nothing
| but the header and footer from Firefox. Great work, Microsoft. Or
| maybe it is Firefox's fault? Who the hell knows.

| While I was waiting for the first round of software to install on Windows, I
| turned to my laptop running Ubuntu to see if I could get it setup to print as
| well. I launched the printing configuration tool. Clicked on "New Printer".
| Typed in the IP address I had assigned to the printer and selected the model
| number.

The Epson Stylus C88 Printer, works in Linux but not in Windows?

| It still prints all wrong from Windows!

| Just so you know, I did go back and install the drivers that
| came on the CD-ROM, same problem. I then downloaded the most
| recent drivers from Epson, same problem.
