If there are printer jobs queued but not running, does your computer refuse to sleep no matter what you try to do until said jobs are completed?

Because that nonsense needs to stop.

Yes Master. I will buy a new Mac to run this OS. I am your slave master.

By the time Apple gets their printing and scanning straightened out no one will be printing or scanning.

I am sorry but I think I missed it. Where are the enhancements? All I see is further movement towards a gray world.

I wish there was just an easy printer... Printers now a days just don't "just work"

The simplified interface is great but does this mean Image Capture is gone?

Also does this open up AirPrint for all printers instead of HP printers?

oh please, as if i can get excited about printing in snow lion while I'm trying to DOWNGRADE to snow LEOPARD so I can print properly on my xerox 6010. #vomit

Photosmart? I do not care Canon had maintenance extension for Mac since Tiger I believe.

I still use it so for me those are just differnt look of what I already know.

Obviously Apple will make those incompatible to promote "new way" so mountain lion sells while offering foolish tight coupling between application and document.

I really think about alternatives as this is not the same Apple I knew in 2006 when I would go for it blindy knowing it was going to be good.
