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.

What is abusive about it.

You did not buy the Printer from Sony, you bought it, or swapped it, from
someone else. If you have a complaint about the missing CD, complain to
your actual supplier.

$15 seems very easonable to me.

Great... so noted.

Keep in mind that this happens often. Sometimes the manufacturer
doesn't have the rights to give you a freebee. This is common among
scanners and aio units. I know this was true of someone who bought a HP
PSC 950 some years back, but HP has since released the drivers on the
website.

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