There is no reason to avoid these Camaleón. They work just fine. The only difference is that ZERO of the profit goes to the printer manufacturer. One of the tenets of FOSS is a free or low cost alternative to commercial software. Why then, as a FOSS advocate, would you tell people to avoid products made by companies who are trying to save consumers money while at the same time providing a quality product? Read my previous post on this topic for an understanding of why these "compatible" cartridges are as good as the OEM, but less expensive. And buy a few yourself and try them out. You'll change your tune. BTW, in most circumstances, under U.S. law, the printer manufacturers can't void your warranty for using non OEM cartridges. Toner and ink are consumables, same as gasoline. Under U.S. law GM can't say you can only buy your gas from Exxon stations or they'll void your warranty. Same situation. Look up applicable laws in your jurisdiction if printer warranty violation is a concern. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
