Recommended Driver: gutenprint (Home page)
Generic Instructions: CUPS, no spooler
 

Comments

Sophisticated, but not too expensive 4-ink small-office printer. With 20ppm for black text (economy mode) it is very fast for an inkjet, faster than many older desktop lasers. Very durable water- and light proof printouts and high printing quality on normal paper due to pigment inks.

180 nozzles black, 3x60 nozzles for the colours, 3 pl droplets, variable drop size.

Parallel and USB ports.

Full support in Gimp-Print 4.2.2 or newer (for older versions choose the C80 as your printer model).

This printer cannot be tested by sending plain text to it, as the printer may or may not respond to the text. The recommended way to test the connection is by checking the ink level with the escputil command as follows:

escputil -i -u -r /dev/lp0

where /dev/lp0 should be replaced with the name of your printer port.

Consumables/Refills: Four separately changable cartridges for black and the colours
