Gentle Folk,

Marco has once again sent out a furphy - and most have fallen for it.

Tejas had asked a GENERAL question:


I cannot see any way that a printer can detect its brand

I just answered to that GENERAL question that,


Stating that,

"From:
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/18972-18972-236251-14438-3328074-468001.html

[HP Deskjet 6940 Printer] "Media sensor detects paper type and
automatically sets print quality to ensure optimal results"

So it does seem possible (especially when the same company makes both
the sensor and the paper)."

is *not *answering a "*GENERAL*" question. I could the same with quoting from
the manual for my printer.

The piece of equipment in question is the *F2280.

*Have we got this clear?

And as another person pointed out, "paper *TYPE*" - repeat, "*TYPE*, repeat,
"*TYPE*" - and *not* paper *manufacturer*.




according to a link "it
does seem possible", so the printer model that link is about is not
really relevant.


What "*link*"?

Please quote *exact* link, thank you.


I already provided some quotes from the F2280 printer in an earlier
post. ...And I agree with John: this is NOT a SuSE problem

so did I in a previous post. The ONLY reason why I'm answering now is
because you keep going personal, even after OTHERS (e.g. Bryan

Who?


on Feb
1st) told you that all your quotes were IRRELEVANT, because they do
NOT answer the one, very specific question I was asking.



Ah, you really mean *Brian *(White), don't you?

And as I responded to Brian, what I wrote answered your question(s)
quite adequately.

Even here you do not seem to understand what is written in the English
language.

Tell me *exactly*, according to *your* logic, where I did not address
the question - that is to your way of thinking, 'IRRELEVANT' - of where
one could find an "official" statement saying anything different to what
an "official" product manual - like the one for the HP Deskjet F2280 -
states, which is what your post was asking for?

If you, or Lynn, cannot read the F2280 manual and understand what is
written there then it is not mine or anyone else's problem who
participates in this mail list.

This thread should have died last week, we all agree on this, so
please let's do it. I'm only asking that if you really feel any need
to keep it going, please realize that it's not about "Marco and only
Marco".


I understand.

But who keeps quoting irrelevant material?

So why can't you simply read the F2280 manual and stop coming up here
with "questions" which are not only answered in the manual but would
also be answered in the HP forum or by the HP Support department (for
example http://welcome.hp.com/country/uk/en/support.html)?


BTW, Tejas asked Lynn some very succinct questions.

They were very much spot on.

What her answers will be depends on how much she understands the manual
for her F2280.

What you may contribute to what Tejas asked will be totally immaterial -
unless you have read and understood the F2280 manual. (So far: Manual
10; Marco 0.)

[At this point I must apologise to you, Marco, for earlier referring to
you as 'Mauro' :-( . My wife (I am married to an Italian girl) has a
cousin, Mauro C******i, who lives in Trieste, Italy, and I somehow used
his name instead of yours in an earlier post. Mea culpa! :-( ]
