Cheap 4-ink home printer with a medium resolution (1440x720 dpi), but in contrary to the Stylus Color 480/580 with a power and a cancel button. USB port only, there is also an "SX" model with only a parallel port.

It seems to be a little bit faster than the C40UX.

Supported in Gimp-Print 4.2.2, 4.3.3, or newer. In older Gimp-Print versions the driver for the C40SX/UX already works.
