HeyŠ Cmon! Their protocol could quite possibly be more efficient that the
standard bubble jet one. Why shouldn't apple simply redo one of their old
drivers rather than probably have to pay Cannon for use of theirs.

Yes. I am probably extremely ignorant, but that just seems so unfair! Apple
wrote the OS, so why shouldn't they have their own drivers etc?

Of course this all makes it much harder for those who want to write a
driver for any other OS (ie MacBSD).
