Bummer. I'd think there was a large market for it.

I have never understood why Kiwi's are so enamored with Inkjets! The
bloody cartridges are more than the printers!! I hate them, they are
fiddly, expensive and a general PITA and their print quality in my
experience aint great.


I'd go Canon for inkjets, much better than HP since my experiences with
the Deskjet 400, and there seem to be a few references to Linux drivers
on the net



before taking this advice it might be worth considering the relative ratings on the vendor report cards:


http://www.linuxprinting.org/vendors.html

HP - excellent "The vendor has actively participated in driver development, provides a technical point of contact, and is actively supporting Free Software by providing Open Source and Free print drivers for their products. These vendors show a genuine interest in supporting Linux, and we highly recommend their products over all others. "



Still wouldn't buy HP crap


All their printers have a 180 degree paper path, you can't manually feed labels through.
