Hi Paul,

Having used Ubuntu for years I've now gone over to Linux Mint as for Printers I've always
stuck by HP my current printer is an HP Wireless Photosmart C4780. The ink cartridges I get
filled for less than half price in a computer store here in Eastwood. Kodak have promoted
cheapo cartridges - but I've no idea of the support for Linux. HP have supported Linux for
many years.
