Um, lets see.  ...didn't that make the cost of the printer just jump a couple 
hundred dollars or so?  It would for me as I have never ever owned a computer 
that had windoze on it, and I'm not even sure what I'd need.  I've heard 
nothing but bad about vista, XP might be OK but don't think it is even for 
sale anymore.  Or would it be proper just to pirate a copy of windoze so one 
could operate a printer?  Inquiring minds want to know.  ;)  I bought this 
Dell 1525n only because it was factory installed with Ubuntu.  Before that it 
was hand built machines ever since my last Amiga quit and the OS on them was 
Amiga XL OS and Mandrake.  The Amiga 3000 UX had Unix System V rel 4.  The 
4000 had 3,5 Amiga and Mac 7. on an Emplant board.
