   Oh boy, not only are you multi-posting the OP to different groups   
   (akin to what annoying Google Groups users used to do), but you're   
   copy-pasting your own responses in other groups down in the thread!   
   Instead of furthering this insanity by doubling up my own posts,   
   I'll just put the Message-ID of where I replied in   
   comp.periphs.printers:   
   <65d93074@news.ausics.net>   
      
   Please learn to cross-post if you wish to discuss things in   
   multiple groups. Though this topic is probably best restrained to   
   just one group where discussion of Usenet itself is intended.
