<P> Ulrich> HP developing UNIX/Linux software? That would be a marvel
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Ulrich> indeed.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>No, it's actually fairly commonplace these days. I can speak to this
|
|
<BR>
|
|
issue as I'm an HP employee and have been working on Linux/Open Source
|
|
<BR>
|
|
exclusively for the last ~3 years. Unfortunately, the amount of Linux
|
|
<BR>
|
|
support is still quite variable but, as some of you noticed, good
|
|
<BR>
|
|
things have started to happen: the DeskJet division released drivers
|
|
<BR>
|
|
just recently. This is a big milestone because it's the first time an
|
|
<BR>
|
|
HP consumer product division is explicitly acknowledging and
|
|
<BR>
|
|
supporting Linux (and thereby most UNIX variants). More of this
|
|
<BR>
|
|
undoubtedly will follow. Unfortunately, the ScanJet side of the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
business (and in particular PhotoSmart), is not quite so far along
|
|
<BR>
|
|
yet. Of course, this issue is dear to my heart and we are working on
|
|
<BR>
|
|
addressing it; the recent hiring of Bruce Perens will help accelerate
|
|
<BR>
|
|
the process, but even so it won't happen overnight. In the meantime,
|
|
<BR>
|
|
the best thing you could do is to remind the HP divisions that Linux
|
|
<BR>
|
|
support for their scanners is important to you, their customer. If
|
|
<BR>
|
|
you do so in a firm but friendly manner and they keep hearing the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
same/similar story, good things will come out of it.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Thanks,
