I had to wait 2 months after I bought my Canon BJC-210 printer for Canon
todeliver drivers for OS/2 Warp 3. But the drivers are present in Warp 4.
My parents have a HP 690C which prints better, and under Warp 4 I use some other
HP color-deskjet drivers for OS/2 - they work fine!
I agree: under OS/2 you need to watch out which hardware to buy: no cheap laser
printers! But Inkjets do not form a problem anymore.
