Good evening Ink Stained Fingers, Don't know if you saw my update in the Canon thread but I went ahead and purchased a Brother T500W. Brother provide a Linux driver and the install is really good. I will try to remember to post a review once I have had some "quality time" with the machine...

They do and the print driver has a load of different print options for double sided printing (manual but you can use less ink if printing double sided), has options for photo quality prints (to be honest, I don't think the machine can achieve real photo quality prints but good enough for my...

Hi Ink Stained Fingers, Thank you very much for your insight, especially the explanation of glossy paper and pigment inks. To be honest, the thought of using glossy paper (I have some sitting behind me...) for better looking colors never occurred to me which makes me feel rather silly. You...
