Comments

Multi-function device: Printer, scanner, copier, fax. Standard model and "xi" model have different fax page memory sizes and zoom factor ranges for copying.

To get all functionality of this printer working under Linux, especially also the non-printing features, like scanning, printer status, maintenance, and photo download from memory cards, use the HPLIP driver package from HP.

The best output one gets with HP's HPIJS 1.3 or newer. If you cannot update to HPIJS 1.3 for some reason, you can also use HPIJS 1.2.2 with the patches from Matthias Bunte and Richard Spencer-Smith ("hpijs-rss"). The Gimp-Print driver also works (Model setting: "pcl-900"), but only up to 600 dpi.

Consumables/Refills: 2 cartridges (1 black, 1 color)
