Amen to that.  I'm trying to find a printer.  It's uphill work because
there's a < 1% overlap (and none of these in the "affordable" category)
between the printers I can buy and the printers listed as "definitely
working" at openprinting.org.  Digging deeper under the covers I find
that several printers are basically just relabelled versions of other
ones (a total "WTF?!" scenario!) so I actually do have some prospects
now.

This was not time well-spent, digging for that.
