Re: [SLUG] Canon i850 Printer

[Matt M]

I've got one, and it's a lovely printer. From windows (I haven't tested it 
under linux yet -- different configuration). linuxprinting.org does not 
speak well of it, however, nor of canon in general. It works, but it prints 
at much lower res than it does in windows. See their database for more details.

The best supported printers under linux are Epson. The C82 has similar 
specs for a similar price, only it's not quite as good (It does 4800x1200 
in software through scaling; the canon does it natively, as I understand 
it) and the ink's about $30 a full refill more expensive.

HTH.

G'day Slug,

I'm thinking of buying a new printer and have my eye on the Canon i850.

Has anyone tried this? I'm using RH8, and would like to know if it 
works  before handing over my hard earnt cash.

TIA
