I disagree.

Canon technology is much better cartridge-wise.
I use PIXMA IP-4000 and I have 5 carts 60NIS/each.
Total it's the same 300 as you pay, but when you use all your red ink you have to buy the whole cart, while I only change 1 for 60 nis (as opposed to 200nis for psc 1315).

I have no idea if IP-4000 is supported in Linux.
Anyone with prior exp ?

Hi,
I suspect you can thank Bdale Garbee - HP's Linux CTO (and former
Debian project leader).

Just one question - how is the ink price compared to other brands?

Well, the original cartidges are expensive just as others (Epson,
Brother, IBM, Canon, you name it) - for mine, it's at about 300 NIS
for BW+Color.

Their new photo smart printers - boy oh boy, HP goes really wild with
6 HEAD cartidges for colors! see this for example:

Thanks,
Hetz
