I started buying printer a long time ago. I had a big and expensive one from Canon, but it's Linux driver support sucked, and when I asked for documentation to improve it, I got a reply of "open source is theft of intellectual property!", and no documentation. Well, it was the last item I ever bought from Canon.

I switched to HP, who at least started to support printing on Linux back then, and their printers were good. I've worn out a few over the years, but the next one will definitely not be another HP. Not just because of that moron of a CEO.
