Over 30 years or so I have used several HP printers with Debian without any problem. A couple of years ago I sold the last one, and all-in-one, due to the exorbitant price of HP ink and the firmware tweaking HP did to prevent one from using non-HP cartridges. I subsequently bought an Epson, which also works fine with Debian. However, I print so little these days that when I do, the nozzles have always dried up and I have to go through the whole maintenance rigmarole and use up half a dozen sheets just to print a single page :-/ Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under constuction.
