Suggests to me that the Deskjet/Laserjet/PCL drivers are cattle-trucked. No doubt the IBM ink jet doesn't use PCL...? Or is it something more serious?

Its all very well until we get a suspension or an injury (god forbid!) and then we're cattle trucked. No disrespect to our stanbys but they are just not up to the job...whether that is due to lack of match practice or the fact that they are just not good enough will only be proved if they get a run in the first team.
