Look at Linuxprinting.org and choose something
inexpensive from the list that is listed there. I.E.
on sale!!

It is wise to print that list out (or any such list)
when shopping for linux addons. It will print in
either O/S, the 'good' one or the 'darkside' one.

I have an hp832c and many hp's are listed as
'completely' or mostly compatible. I am on my 4th
refill of the black cartridge from wally world and
that cartridge still prints good....just have to be
careful as the 'sealing ball' hole is now slightly
spread and I have a piece of tape over the hole.

Never use the color anyway....costs toooo much/page.





Cyclists should expect and demand safe 
accommodation on our public roads, 
just as does every other user.  

Nothing more is expected. 

Nothing less is acceptable!

Long live Knoppix!!
