HP has a proprietary printer job language called “HP LaserJet” usually, and you have to download the software package that includes the language.
Most (if not all) robust Linux installs come with the open sourced HP Laserjet printer language package included.
relictele, the hundreds of megabytes isn’t an exaggeration, if you are coming off a clean SP2 install as of May 19th 2008 it would take 680ish MBs to update all of the patches. That took me an hour and a half on high speed cable internet. I remember the date because it took me all day to update the dang system.
I still prefer XP for daily use, but I prefer to use the NLite competitor, called RVM_Integrator. That and weekly backups using Acronis TrueImage.
True enough I suppose but SP3 has cut down those myriad large patches. I also use Acronis and was using the AutoPatcher until MS realized it was making them look bad so they cracked down on its author/keeper.
