Twice now, I've provided methods that anyone can duplicate in order to
create and print files without drivers. I even did them on Windows, and
don't think the scars from that won't last. This is called "proof".

You have claimed that a driver is always required to print. Maybe this
is just a translation problem from your native language into English.

If it's not a language problem, please provide some equivalent proof
that you are correct. Otherwise, I'm going to have to charge for the
full half hour.
