:-P

No, it's *still* grossly and egregiously counterintuitive.

If you have a list of *which* HP printers correspond to *which*
Canon printers, then *for* *you* this may be a trivial chore
(but note that even if you "used to work at HP" you didn't
necessarily work in the printer division; FrEx, HP spun off
"Agilent" in the North Bay, and afaik none of them were in the
printer group; TMO, RF, GC/MS...) .

As a standalone issue for CUPS users & "average joe" ImageRunner
owners, I stand by my assertion -- the use/documentation issue
is grossly & egregiously counterintuitive.  Absurdly so.  It's
worthy of the highest levels of ridicule.  It's worse than most
MSism's, even for the anti-MS crowd.  It's *AWFUL*.

That said... I gotta laugh.  I just gotta.  It's ***SO*** bad...
