Color Ink Jets - HP540 verses Cannon 610e

Color Ink Jets - HP540 verses Cannon 610e

Post by Larry Snyd » Fri, 29 Sep 1995 04:00:00



I'm considering an ink-jet printer between a Cannon 610 and
HP 540.  I want to run it under Linux and Windows95.

Which one is supported "better" under the above opearating
systems?

I have a Canon 600E and have yet to figure out the printcap file for it.

I have a HP560C that works great under Linux.  I have installed
Peter Anvin's "MAGICFILTER v 1.1" that allows me to print color
gif's etc.  I have included a copy of my /etc/printcap.  You
can find magicfiler on any linux ftp site.

1. HP 855/850 verses Cannon 610e

I don't know about the Canon but the HP 85xC isn't presently
well supported in any of those three.  Win95 support has been
promised by HP at mid-October, for now 550C drivers work but
lose most of its advanced abilities.  For Linux/FreeBSD you'd
want a GhostScript driver for it which isn't available either,
although again 550C driver will work but...
I'd expect a proper GS driver for the 85x to appear sooner
or later, but it isn't helped any by the apparent lack of
any kind of Technical Reference for the thing!
