It Just Works: a happy tale of Linux and printers

| Should I be this happy? Yeah. I think I should. Genuine progress, even in
| small ways, is worth a smile.

Logitech Vid - SightSpeed Rebranded and Dumbed Down
,----[ Quote ]
| There is one other case that could change my mind. Shortly before they were
| taken over, SightSpeed announced a Linux version, which was supposed to be
| available on Dell laptops preloaded with Linux, and was promised to be
| generally available "real soon". Then they got taken over by Logitech, and it
| looks like the Linux version vanished. If Logitech should get smart, and
| bring out a Vid for Linux, I would jump on that in an instant. I'm not
| holding my breath... but I am at least keeping my fingers crossed!

HP Officejet Pro 8500 - Happy with Mac, Linux and Windows XP
,----[ Quote ]
| The software loaded easily on the Mac and I was able to get the Linux
| machines on speaking terms with the printer quickly. With a bit of
| trepidation, I approached the Windows XP machine. I looked at it, it looked
| at me. Neither of us was looking forward to an ordeal loading the HP
| software.
|
| Although I had loads of trouble with HP’s software for the other printers,
| Loading the Officejet Pro 8500 software took only about 20 minutes. Only one
| problem was experienced with the procedure. The registration software
| wouldn’t work with Firefox, my primary Browser on all of my systems. It
| insisted that I use Internet Explorer 7. Since that software isn’t available
| on all of the other systems in use here, it has not been loaded on any of the
| systems.
