I think there is a need for that office to beable to use the "tall" 
office copier/printer/FAX machine that holds several large [and/or 
small] trays dedicated for different paper types and sizes.  That is the 
type that is in many of the offices I have been in.  On device to all of 
their needs.

The key is that Windows drivers would have access to all of the device's 
options.  What is needed is to find one that has Linux drivers to do the 
same thing.  It is no good using Linux if you cannot use all the need 
functions of the printer for your office needs.  Sometimes having both 
Linux and Windows computers attached to the office network that the 
large multi-function office printing device is connected to.

I searched for the best one for the HP laser printer that I use, for the 
tray and paper options, so I would not have to do too many option 
manually or need to run my laptop in Win7 mode.  I have to do that with 
my HP wide format printer, but I do not want to do the same with the 
laser printer when I want to print anything other than letter paper in 
the "default" tray.
