If you are kicking the target in the teeth at the same time, they are not uppermost in your mind and deserve to be ignored. It is not just what you say - it is the way that you say it that matters.

ll our Debian printing applications to be stuck in the past. Nonsense it is. Whoever wants setting up a printer to have the same ease of use as setting up a mouse? And as for these users with smartphones, let them use another OS to print to. Why should Debian accomodate them when we we can rely on a vast collection of buggy drivers to see us into the next century. Bonjour is a network protocol. We do not even know whether the OP has his MFD on the network. -- Brian.
