How does it make Linux a "limping straggler" because some 3rd party 
device manufacturer doesn't actively write a driver?  I would think that 
makes Canon the "limping straggler."  My Minolta Magicolor 2450 has 
native Linux drivers (at least the last time I checked).  I bought it 
after a series of HP inkjet and color laserjets failed in pretty short 
order.  It works great!

HP products tend to have decent linux support too, but I've had a run of 
bad luck with their hardware so I don't buy from them anymore.

Cheers,
