Do these exist ?

I recently moved offices, and these (4 in number) are the only printers
within walking distance.

Apparently you didn't actually read any of them...

This is just another reason why Apple is FAIL in the enterprise.

Only a complete dork would actually believe that.

You provided a link to a Google search results page that had ZERO links
to drivers for the printer in question, despite your statement "looks
like there's a whole bunch of them". The implication of "Google is your
friend" is that it will be at least _somewhat_ helpful. You haven' shown
that to be the case at all in this instance. Pretty ironic, eh?

You should try harder next time.

If you're not even willing to do the leg work yourself, why bother?

If you never intend to actually vet the Google results to see if Google
would actually be of assistance, that's probably a good idea.

That's great to hear, though I doubt you mean it. If you did leave, your
oh-so-helpful contributions certainly wouldn't be missed much.
