I'm a wondering if the 'experts' (in this case the cups people) are thinking
that no drivers makes things better.

Here - - - - no driver seems to be taking a very long time, sometimes 30
seconds +, to start the printing process. I don't remember printing
hesitating like this in the past.

Is this another example of the new improved being rather otherwise?

Please advise.
