Also on a slightly unrelated note it is not always essential to use the specific printer drivers for your printer (you should...but you can get away with it).

For instance I know for a fact that ANY Canon BJC series printer will work with ANY BJC drivers perfectly (ie BJC 2100 drivers are basically the same as the BJC 3000 drivers).

HOWEVER there are times when YOU really can run into trouble with running the wrong drivers (Ive found HP to be the worst for global driver support).

Not really related but though it would make an interesting addition to the thread.
