<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Mom and I got tired of slow print speeds and the ecodisaster of tossing printers away from ruined printheads when Dad just kept trying to print after the cartridge/s dried up . After some research , we got a canon ip4200 for under $80 on sale And spent over $180 on a fancy Australian ciss. so Dad will see when it's running out of ink . I need to support w98se and this printer does that . I also need linux support and checked on linuxprinting before purchase . We used to use a canon all in one , 180 I believe , with a driver from Canon Australia . Weve been canon for some time now and rarely use anything but 300 or 600 dpi draft grayscale mode . We used to use Epson printers but they wasted so much ink priming that we had to stop . Honestly , depending on how one does the accounting , photo yellow ink in cartridges often
costs more than gold . If you want to risk that the printhead may have dried out and the sponge got full , I have an ip2000 hanging out . The cartridges don't hold much but often only cost one dollar . - Bruce<br></td></tr></table><br>
