Generally printers that are Windows 95 specific use a function that is built
into windows itself to perform a lot of the print processing. A bit like the
WinModem issue again. It appears that Micro$oft arent happy with just
dominating operating systems, but they want to dominate hardware as well to
restrict us to windoze purely because of our hardware..... It makes me
sick.....
