From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The proprietary drivers for my printer are 1GB large.
Printing turns a document into a postscript file and sends that to the printer, what the fuck does it need 1GB of data for that??
Name and shame the printer company. That's infuriating to read.
Those are the Windows drivers for a Kyocera printer-scanner-combo.
Under Linux it runs out of the box with the drivers included in CUPS.
