Comments

I (Till) got an old Stylus Color 500 which has big problems with Gimp-Print 4.2. I don't know whether the printer is broken or whether it is a problem of Gimp-Print. If you have problems with this printer and Gimp-Print, please try another driver and report whether that works. If your distro still contains Gimp-Print 4.0.x please report whether the printer works with that version.

Consumables/Refills: cartridge
