</div>Hi Paul,<br>
<br>
Now that we have exciting things like "floors" and these other new-wave<br>
house features, I can once again try and find a printer.<br>
<br>
Is this the one you have?<br>
<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Officejet-4500-All-Printer-Print/dp/tech-data/B00381KG1Q/ref=de_a_smtd" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.co.uk/Officejet-4500-All-Printer-Print/dp/tech-data/B00381KG1Q/ref=de_a_smtd</a><br>
(Amazon list a couple of variants)<br>
<br>
Do you use it networked, or via USB?<br>
<br>
Took a look at the 6410 and 6500 too, but they are more expensive.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div> <div>Hi Jason,<div><br></div><div>That's the one, though I think mine goes by the cumbersome full title of 'HP Officejet 4500 g510n'. I don't do an awful lot of printing, scanning or faxing but it all seems perfectly functional through the HPLIP drivers and applications. </div>
</div><div><br></div><div>As I said, I have a sabayon, the hplip driver is in the standard repository for this distro as I suspect it is for most other distributions.</div><div><br></div><div>Paul</div>
