Your observation is correct (sorry to say).. The Fingerprint GSI card does
have the HP driver, but you can only use it when dumping something
through the card.. I have pleaded & begged with the powers that be at
Fingerprint by phone and over seafood (their weak spot) dinner, and they
will not consider going into the print driver business for that or any
other of their drivers. I too would fight to be first in line to buy
their driver and a Paintjet if they would only sell it..
