I support the concept that a win-printer is anything that supports a
proprietary protocol which is only developed and support on WinBlows.

There is nothing "evil" about removing smarts from a printer to reduce
cost.  Provided of course...  that the protocol is open.  It's a real
pitty because the HP 72x and other PPA printers are really nice (and cheap)
color units.  Oh well...
