Waking up the printer makers to the existence of ubuntu and other linux users

[elmo]

There doesn't seem to be many or any  printer manufacturers who make a 
printer, copier, and scanner that can be used in ubuntu so perhaps they 
should be  awakened to the fact that there are thousands of ubuntu and 
other linux users all over the world who might be interested in having 
such a machine.  Not one manufacturer has advertised a liuux compatible 
machine.

If they were swamped with email inquiring about a printer, copier, 
scanner that can be used in ubuntu it should create some interest  and 
it shouldn't be long before they'd come out with such
a product.  Addressing such  email to all the manufacturers at the same 
time should create some incentive to be the first to come out with such 
a product.

I'm thinking that a short form letter that would be available on this 
list and perhaps a web page to show how many linux users feel that they 
could use such a machine.if every body who uses this list sends a copy 
to all the manufacturers of such machines.

Imagine the effect if such an email letter were sent  from hundreds, if 
not thousands of
linux users all over the world arriving at the offices of the 
manufacturers at the same time.

Anybody interested?       Suggestions?    Or is it too late?
