Jerry,

I think you're being unfair.  The horizontal banding was NOT a "bug".  It
did not happen on ALL 3000 printers, only some, and once they were aligned
perfectly (if they could be, some could not), they would not exhibit this
"problem".  What the new driver did was make it so a lot of the "not so
perfect" 3000s would not exhibit this problem...but again, I'd hardly call
that a bug.
