   Ubuntu has the HP Toobox in  the Software Center (a place you've   
   obviously never been) and it provides everything the CD for Windows   
   provides.   
      
   It's interesting how this Win troll will constantly say it's HP's,   
   Canon's, etc. fault when they don't provide drivers for Windows but it's   
   Linux' fault when they don't provide drivers for Linux.
