My 64-bit systems drop control sequences (like they don't flush the output buffer), leaving the last page of every job sitting in printer memory. I reported the bug a few years ago, but it got closed as WONTFIX and now I can't find it in bugzillawe 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 decisions
