It really
saddens me when I compare the quality of HP stuff 20 or more
years ago with stuff with that name on it today :-(.
The lack of modern drivers for some of their printers, which are still
going strong here, is a serious issue.
It's no problem here. The HP computers which were designed to work with
said printers are going strong too :-)
I'm sorry for them that they made this stuff so well, it still works,
I really am, but they should do the decent thing and support it.
At least HP sold programmer's manuals for their classic printers to let
you write your own drivers if you wanted to. Which is more than can be
said of some companies...
