Oh,,,, I see. That makes more sense! To be fair, I haven't found lack of drivers to be so much of an issue with printers. Epson seem to be quite happy to GPL their drivers. So they get my business. I still don't quite understand though, why I (or any Linux user) would want to help Kodak become more successful? If they're smart enough to open their drivers then they might get more business. If they aren't, there are plenty of other choices available. Personally, I would enjoy seeing Kodak go out of business - software patents are the biggest threat to Linux (and innovation in general) that there is. http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/en/m/intro/index.html
