Let the market show them that they're wrong. Anybody who buys anything without doing their research ahead of time deserves what they get. I did my research, and am quite happy with my Lexmark Optra E laser under Linux. Be careful how you you "blacklist" Lexmark; it might well cost the company thousands of dollars just to see (if) you have a point, let alone debate whether or not they agree with you and what to do about it if they do...for a direct return of $0 (you're asking them to give stuff away, which they may not be able to give away for free) and an indirect return of maybe a few more inkjet sales from people who weren't smart enough to just get an ghostscript-supported printer in the first place...like all of Lexmark's laser printers to date. Keith (just a satisfied customer) -- I'm the evil in your bloodstream, / I'm the rash upon your skin, And you made a big mistake all right / The day you let me in. You can fly to the other side of the world, / You know you'll only find I've reserved the seat behind you. / We can talk about old times... ---Marillion, "Uninvited Guest" (_Season's End_)
