"Device drivers are the spawn of the devil to me and completely unnecessary (thank you Microsoft)." We sort of had this before Windows. When you bought a printer you had to make sure it had an Epson FX mode to support Wordstar, Diablo 630 to print you invoices and IBM Proprinter to print your mainframe reports. It was a bloody mess. The Windows printer driver model isn't great and MS appear to recognise this, but things were a lot harder when every application did it's own thing. |
