Colour/Color inkjet printers and Linux

Post by Richard A Lou » Fri, 07 Aug 1998 04:00:00



Hi All,

Are there any colour inkjet printers which are
supported under Linux?

At present the HP deskjet 720C or the
Epson Stylus 700 look good on paper :-)

and if not are these likely to be supported
anytime soon?

TIA

I know that the Epson Stylus Colour/Color family (400, 600, 800) are
supported in Ghostscript.  There are even some nice RPMS available
at http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~typhoon that have support for these
printers already compiled in.  There is also support for some of the
HP inkjet printers.

I've heard the "uniprint" driver in ghostscript 5.10 does a very
good job of supporting the Epson series.  I've heard it's quite
an improvement over the "stcolor" driver, which was already
pretty good.  Be sure to have a look at "devices.txt" in the
ghostscript distribution for more info about various models
and printing modes.

And neither of these two printers will work under Linux,
as they are both "windows only" printers
(the interface is software that only runs with Windows)

Better to stick with a 5xx or 6xx HP printer,
or an Epson Stylus 400/600/800

1. Lexmark 2050 Color Inkjet Printer and Linux?

I just recently set up Redhat 5.1 Linux on my PC.  I've read that only
Postscript printers are supported under Linux, but I don't know if that's
true.  Can anyone with more Linux knowledge than I (which is practically
everyone!) tell me if it's possible to use a Lexmark Inkjet printer under
Linux, possibly using Star Office?

Thanks!
