   If you are going to claim support for the MX, then get one and test it
before you make that claim. 

   I have a pile of software that claims MX support but it does not. It
seems that the author didn't bother to test against an MX to find out
that MX's do not support 1/216 inch carrage movement.

   That is my view. It is a peeve with me. I have an MX as my main printer.
