The "would" in the last sentence is confusing since one might think it
to imply that there currently are no DDKs.
Suggested change:
"We recommend all hardware vendors who have plans to offer their
printers for Linux customers to look into available Driver
Development Kits. Usage of a DDK greatly simplifies Linux printer
driver development."
I'd say "Driver Development Kit or other existing framework". But
maybe I'm biased or something :-)
