That, however, is Canon's doing more than anything else. It's a reflection
of the typical Japanese "proprietary is good" philosophy. Epson is an
exception to the rule in this respect in that they have allowed ghostscript
to interface with their proprietary drivers at all.

My own preference goes to HP, though. There's full support of most of their
models with 100% open-source drivers developed by HP themselves.
