Thanks Freaky.

They tried to sell me one of those in Comet but after Kodak took too
long to take digital photography seriously I have kept away from their
digital products. I am interested to hear your experience of this
printer.

The printer is mainly for my wife to use from 'Win 7' and a friend of
hers recommended an Epson SX425W so I bought one. I had trouble at
first getting it to work from Ubuntu 10.04 as the correct driver was
not listed in the Printer Setup. However after I downloaded one from
[1] it now works. It is too early to say how well as this was late
last night.

I expect Lisi could use this without the /eng/ part? (English translation)
