- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

My brother printer didn't have drivers for arch and it took me days, and the community to help me get it up and running.
I used mine with the old, reliable "HP LaserJet 4200 PS" driver for the first year or two. I only installed the official drivers because I wanted the duplexing to work. lol
With a laser printer, the HP LJ 4200 driver is pretty much universal (have only seem a very few cases where it didn't work)
Put your model # in the search box on the AUR and you'll get the driver every time.
Didn't work. Searched and searched, but no luck. Anyways, I got it now, so no need.
