Hi all,

I currently have an HP DeskJet 2600 series printer, an inkjet with 
cartridges. It's been working fine but I really don't like the fact that 
because of the Digital Restrictions Management third party cartridges are 
being blocked and that even original cartridges stop working at some point
if I refill them.

So I was thinking about an ink tank printer, again from HP because they have
stellar GNU/Linux free software driver support -- I had used a Brother many
years ago, but its GNU/Linux driver was proprietary, therefore not included 
in the repositories. And when they stopped updating the driver package on
their website, the machine became a paperweight.

My main concerns are price, not being tied to a particular vendor for the 
nk and durability. It doesn't have to fax (I already have a V.92 modem), do
double sided printing or be fast. What would you advise? What would you say 
about an HP Ink Tank 415 AIO?

Thanks in advance.
