I can understand the feeling. I just bought an HP P1102w printer that was
on discount offer - now I am struggling to get it to work in Linux...

Well, this is were I can't understand so many manufacturers, wanting to hide
the communication protocol of their products. It discloses little of the internal
functioning and it prevents the Linux community trying to fill the gap in the
(not) available drivers/utilities....
