we talk about a *bleeding edge distribution*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_LaserJet_4#4L_and_4P
"The LaserJet 4 series was discontinued in the 1990s"
why in the world does somebody install a operating system released in
2015 to drive harwdare realeased 10-15 years ago and *why in the world*
should recent hardware feautures ignored forever because of users with
such hardware?
you CAN NOT HAVE both - leading edge software and legacy support forever
that's the same disucssion as others have with "my PHP crap don't work
with anything above PHP 5.2 so why can't i have newest software *but
not* recent PHP
and to make it clear:
when you and the other 5 users think they can demand support for ancient
hardware forever because these days cheap hardware is too much cost i
tell you that my lifetime for adpot a ton of regressions cuased by
replacing perfect fine working software with half baken replacements is
*much more* worth because you can buy reasonable hardware, i can't buy
additional lifetime wasted over the last years by braindead software
