Once H-P moved the print processing to the computer, and decided to only support Windows and Mac drivers, it was all over for the Unix/HP LaserJet romance. Customers would call us to complain that they bought a "new H-P printer and it won't work with Solaris!". Then I'd have to explain that the device they bought doesn't have Unix support, and they'd have to use hplip. Or return the thing and get a real printer that understands PCL, Postscript, HPGL, etc. without needing an intermediary.
