     @alcinnz @lightweight Right?
     There shouldn't even be print drivers at this point. They all mix the same 3 colours, and print to the same standardised paper sizes in a handful of common resolutions

     @lightweight Canon.

     I'm not even impressed with the printers they make... (or was that another brand? I don't keep track of printer companies, they're basically all terrible) Lack of IETF/USB standards support & DRM'd ink. Can't we have a printer that just works without needing drivers?
