Edited Notes

This printers are also capable of full-bleed (borderless) printing.

Parallel and USB ports.

This printer cannot be tested by sending plain text to it, as the printer may or may not respond to the text. The recommended way to test the connection is by checking the ink level with the escputil command as follows:

escputil -i -u -r /dev/lp0

where /dev/lp0 should be replaced with the name of your printer port.

Consumables/Refills: Four separately changable cartridges for black and the colours
