Your understanding and your expectation is right.

But at the few printer manufacturers that I know about (not yet Xerox)
those who deal with their Windows customers work basically totally
separated from their "special forces" who deal with those strange
Linux folks out there that nobody else understands ;-)
As a result what they provide to their Windows customers is basically
totally decoupled from what they provide to the Linux users.
I guess I learned right now that it is basically the same at Xerox.


Kind Regards
