Well, I can print from my XP Pro partition, we have gotten my wife's
setup to print from OS-X, XP Home and Debian, but my Debian partition
does not want to play nice. I'm still working on it. Once it's
perfected, I'll give another update. Incidentally, the three color
cartridges in this thing are like new, and the black is about worn out.
It looks like I can get a refurb from a reputable seller on ebay for
less than $30.00. Still doing pretty well on this particular deal...
