Sony Gouging

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I just got a Sony DPP-EX50 dye sub 4x6 printer as part of a swap and it
didn't come with the driver CD.

Sony provides downloadable drivers for their other models but they say
I have to BUY the CD for this printer ($15 USD) and wait for it in the
mail.

I find this practice abusive and wanted to let you all know that it's
going on.

If it's just the driver you need it looks like you can download it from Sony
Europe instead.
