What you describe here is a hardware problem, not a software 
related one. It is your printer that is difficult to use, not 
Redhat.

My first printer came along with a usable handbook that explained 
the protocol idiot-proof. So, I could easily write a small Basic 
program that loaded a bitmap graphic and then sent it to the 
printer. 


Please. Printers are *much* harder to set up under Linux than under
Windows. Autodetections (and changing hardware configurations) are
simply not as well supported under GNU/Linux as they are under
Windows. See it as a rallying cry to fix the problem, not as an attack
on our work or the philosophy.
