A facile remark, but not quite appropriate.
I have a 2400, and can't say that usability is any better - settings
are equally convoluted and buggy, ***colorsync interaction equally
buggy***.
Oh, and yes, it doesn't do PK/MK switching without a reinstall of the drivers.
Robert has emailed me, he thinks that the stability issues
-half-finished prints- have also been reported with Gutenprint on
Leopard with the 9600, indicating that the base OS may be at fault
here.
I think it's time the inkjet driver model got cleaned up a bit -
everyone has an inkjet these days. And the whole profile business is
not going to go very far if users cannot figure out how to get the
same amount of ink on paper when using sheet or roll feed, or from two
different OS versions.
