Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: printers compatible with Gnu&Linux

Hi :)
Actually just being able to print to A4 would be plenty.  It would be a huge bonus to the current 
state-of-play and is about the main way we would use the printer anyway.  

It's very rare for us to need the other trays and sizes.  Generally for that there would be someone 
standing by the machine coaxing it to work.  Also we have no idea how to use the  stapling function 
from the desktop machines or even while standing at the machine (hence why the staple function 
breaks quite quickly every time it's ever been fixed).  So a new machine wouldn't need to do any 
more than the basics.  
Regards from 
Tom :)
