so what color photo printers are supported in Linux?   My personal color 
printer at home is the Canon i9900, which is connected via USB2 to a 
WindowsXP system, I don't have much experience trying to do photo 
printing from Linux, in fact the last time I did any color printing from 
Unix or Linux, it was on a color Postscript laser printer, and it was 
nowheres near photo quality.


ditto, multifunction SOHO copier/printer/fax/scanner machines (which is 
what I'm presuming the MP160 is).  Those typically are 90% host 
software, and require all-in-one application software running on the 
host system to manage their copier and fax functionality.     How would 
you propose a consumer electronics oriented company support Linux?   
Which glibc should they link with?  which version of gnome/gtk/kde/what 
should they build their app with?    just give the user a source tarball 
and say 'have fun compiling'?
