Printer firmware and drivers are the worst. I've integrated with a software package that supplies its own printer drivers because the manufactures can't make a driver that will actually work well.

They constantly screw up the most basic of things. A good test of a network printer is to set it offline, send 20 print jobs to it (a test page is fine), then set it back online. Way too many printers will not print out all 20 print jobs, despite reporting success for all of them (This is true even of $30k printers).
