Any chance of HP LaserJet and overall improved printer support?

Never had many problems with my SAM and my networked HP printers (HP OfficeJet 8500 a909g and a couple random HP Laserjet's at the shop).  That being said, as someone stated before, the 1010's are just really Windows heavy functionality wise when it comes to being really dependent on Windows drivers for full functionality.

The 1010 is a budget printer that relies heavily on the drivers of the host computer to do anything at all, which is why it's more or less a doorstop for Amiga users.  Don't blame the OS over a budget printer if the hardware vendor doesn't provide the software logic to drive the HW.  For the Amiga to support such a printer, extensive work would have to be done driver side for it to even work.  It's an old printer from years ago that was entry level when it was new.  Most of the mid range HP's, even the ones released today have no issues with MOS or OS4 in my experiences.  The 1010 is literally a $30 dollar printer these days.  The logic that drives said printer resides in the drivers/software that HP provides, can't fault MOS or OS4 for not doing that kind of legwork.  Reminds me much of the old Rockwell chipset modems that were pretty much paperweights unless you had the drivers/sw for them, which the Amiga never had, and I was one of the unfortunate fools back in the legacy Amiga days to buy one of those stinkers, only to find out it was effectively useless on my Amiga, lol.

I've had no issues with my mid range HP lasers or inkjets with any of the NG Amiga OS offerings, anyways.  My 8500 and LJ's work just fine on both MOS and OS4 via the built-in Ethernet ports on the printer, it's really just as simple as plug and play and point the OS at the proper IP for the printer.

The 1010 is literally a $30 printer:

Why on earth would Hyperion waste time coding drivers for a years old, $30 printer when a guy can just use a postscript printer?

Tell you what, if you manage to talk them (or the MOS folks) into that, tell them I'd also like full support for my Newton MessagePad and my Palm Pilot.
