So that will help. I would be very interested to know which company this is. My father buys from StinkyInk, who sell both 1st and 3rd party cartridges for reasonable prices. How well the printer and the cartridges talk to each other varies a lot I should imagine, but my father tells me he has never had a problem with any 3rd-party ink from StinkyInk - in contrast to 1st-party ink (probably bought at a supermarket) that he tells me _has_ failed on him! Mr. Meowski seems to have a point regarding Linux compatibility. Just before lockdown I set up Ubuntu for my grandmother. Both the printer and the scanner jumped straight into life, no setup required. If by chance anyone on this list has worked on CUPS, printer drivers, postscript etc: I applaud your excellent work!
