HP DeskJet 1280
 
Color inkjet printer, max. 2400x1200 dpi, works Perfectly
Recommended Driver: hplip (Home page)
Generic Instructions: CUPS, no spooler
 

Miscellaneous

Printer supports direct text printing with the 'us-ascii' charset.

Comments

For basic printing functionality use the HPIJS driver . For advanced functionality such as printer status and maintenance features, use the HPLIP driver (which includes HPIJS).

An 8MB wide-format inkjet.

Adobe Postscript 3 option available, but it appears to be a software-only thing.

A wide assortment of deskjet-ish drivers should work.

The best output one gets with HP's HPIJS 1.3 or newer. The Gimp-Print driver also works (Model setting: "pcl-900"), but only up to 600 dpi.

Consumables/Refills: 1 K, 1 CMY cartridge
