RE: [SLE] Looking for a new printer.

I chose an Epson Stylus 800 before getting serious about Linux because I thought the colors were truer than Canon, especially red. It installs easily in Linux and the only thing I miss is the more complete interface available on W95. :-( FWIW, I tried refilling cartridges with bulk ink, which worked for about 4 cartridges, then the printer started producing very poor images. Have since used about 6 or 7 new cartridges and still do not have the original quality of the printer. I do save money, however, by using Amazon Imaging Inc cartridges from Warehouse.com and they worked very well until I messed with that bulk ink business. Friend of mine had exactly the same problem on his printer (not an Epson) with bulk inks. Cheers, Bill Barnes

===== Original Message From "JR" ===== Hello.

I am in the process of looking at purchasing a new printer. The 2 printers I am looking at are the Canon BJC-6000 and the Epson Stylus Color 860. I am sort of preferring the Canon BJC-6000 due to the separate ink cartridges and I have always had better luck with Canon printers. I would really like to find out which one of the 2 is most Linux compatable. Or which is being most worked with to become compatable. Or if one of them just really stinks. ;-)
