Over the past 4 years I have set up about a dozen Linux print servers... some of them supporting more than 100 clients of all types.... and have never had a problem. The client machines include Windows, Linux, other Unixen, and Apple. This is about the dumbest comment I have seen. (aside from the fact that the whole premise of the article is pretty stupid.) This HP product supports Linux clients simply because Linux supports printing on Windows shared printers. See: man smbprint for more details. Though you may not have tried very hard... Linux is extremely easy and dependable to set up as a print server OR client. There are at least two HOWTOs on this subject alone. If you use printtool that comes with RedHat and most RH based distros it is braindead simple.
