- HP and IBM are currently in the midst of a dispute about who will write this
- driver (or pay for it). It will be written........when the dispute is
- resolved. Both companies have dug in their heels at the moment and - of course
- - blame the other.
-
- HP is a fussy company. They have such a big market share, they are much more
- stroppy than other companies. Of course, IBM has suffered the same "illness"
- in the past, though they seem to be in remission at present.
-
- Meanwhile.....it's a pain for users - whoever is at fault, if anyone.
