   Of course, get the wrong printer and your MS driver can take 40
   minutes to produce the first page of Latin-1 encoded text, because the
   driver sucks.  (If you're buying a printer, I'll tell you in private
   which printer I had that problem with.)

I should add that this printer was several transparent drivers away
from the printing host.  The printer is on a Novell file server.  It's
not worth my time to try to track this down; if these were Linux
systems, where I have some docs and full source, I would.  The Novell
(nihongo) docs, on the other hand, though copious are really useless.
I think the idea is to sell Novell training sessions.  :-P

Now, *that's* expensive.  Money *and* time.
