Comments

Entry level sheet-fed multi-function device. Printer/scanner/copier/fax.

To get all functionality of this printer working under Linux, especially also the non-printing features, like scanning, printer status, maintenance, and photo download from memory cards, use the HPLIP driver package from HP.

Does not understand PCL as most other DeskJets/PSCs/OfficeJets, it uses the so-called "Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language" (LIDIL), these printers are supported by the HPLIP driver beginning from version 1.3. The driver supports resolutions only up to 600 dpi, head alignment settings stored in the printer are not made use of, so use a one-cartridge (CMY) printing mode in case of mis-alignments.

Consumables/Refills: 1 colour (CMY) cartridge and 1 black (K) cartridge
