Mac OS X has good driver support only because Apple implements their own drivers for every device, and bundles them with the OS. Leopard had ~5gb of printer drivers alone in the default install! In 10.6 they moved to a system that installs drivers for stuff on-demand, automatically downloaded from Apple.
- Someone 17y ago"because Apple implements their own drivers"? AFAIK, Mac OS X and Linux share a lot here. Both use (Apple-owned, and GPL/LGPL) CUPS.
