    <description><![CDATA[My printer, a Laserjet 1200, is pretty common and is supported by Ubuntu automatically. But I rarely print from it because it stretches my print output, vertically. For example, I have a table in OpenOffice Calc, as a to-do list organized by both importance and urgency, set up to print exactly in a certain way from OpenOffice on Windows XP. But when I open the same document on my Ubuntu computer, it prints stretched out more vertically, so that it doesn't all fit on one sheet. This is printing to the same exact printer. This seems to be the same with other programs. <br />

  <description><![CDATA[I totally agree that without proper support from the printer manufacturers that in order for Linux software to be accepted by the mass more work need to be done on printer driver. I’m still puzzle as to why the manufacturers are not supporting the any Linux operating system. It would be at their advantage, wouldn’t it be? As it is now, after trying several Linux distribution I notice that out of the three printers that I own none of the Linux distribution properly support them. I will not truly start using the Linux operating System until proper printer driver are available. I own a Canon MF 4150 MFP and an HP Photosmart C7200 All-in-One series. Lot more work need to be done here.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!!!!! This is the main reason I keep windblows on my computers instead of moving 100% to Linux. I can't print anything out without using that driver that leaves a HUGE watermark on every print job. <br /><br />I'd put this task in my top 5 priority-wise. Please work on Canon drivers.]]></description>
