Chris: Big thanks for that guide. That helps a lot. This will make it a lot easier to find a printer.

I choose a ink printer because I dont print so much so filling ink isnt a big problem. Lasers take long time to warm up and I tested to follow Chris guide and cant find a Trisquel compatible printer for three times the price that is color. They all require Driver plug-in. After that i stopped looking.

I did talk with HP support some months ago and they said that they have no plans to release a printer that dont print the yellow tracking dots for the next three years. They said it isn't 100% yellow but a combination. ......and now we know why printers will not print with missing ink or cartridge.

It would be a great feature someone created a program that did know how the tracking dots where printed by the printer and then added some extra dots to change the date, time, serial. But it must be a perfect match that is in line with printers original tracking dots.
