Re: Canon printer and TurboPrint

Did you ever bother to consider that if the printer manufacturers
actually formed a consensus on a printer language, some third world
county or the EU would probably sue them.

for setting up open standard? why?

while i probably have similar (or worse) opinion about EU, to which Poland is now slowly losing independence, i never heard about any EU process for setting up OPEN standard.

They are rather experts of suing Micro$oft. This is just one another way of taking tax from us, Microsoft just pays the fine, divides it by amount of sold windoze licences and add this to price, while still doing things the same as before.

But it's not a problem for me, i don't buy windows so i don't have to pay that tax.
