How 'bout they just WRITE A FUCKING PRINTER DRIVER??

It seems obvious that more time is spent on things like checking how much ink is left in the printer and giving you a handy menu so you can click whether you need to print a photo, or a powerpoint presentation, or an email, etc. than is spent making sure you can actually send stuff out to the printer.

It's almost enough to make me nostalgic for the bad old days of the Epson ESC codes. At least you could tell exactly how things were fucked up.

Talk about nostalgia...

MS Word 5.0 back in the early days was about 100k and just about as good as the current version.
No bells-n-whistles, but a easy-to-use word processor.

But then, things were always better back in the dark recesses of my mind.

I was using open office, but it drove me crazy, trying to do what I didn't want to do. Then I found TinyWord, it's wonderful and free.
