That would make sense It does work under Debian 32 so I could always
plug in my netbook if I needed something to print.  As it stands I am
using a print server which hooks to a windows gaming machine.  I might
print like once or twice a month that might be maybe two pages so I am
in fear of having the ink dry out more than not working as advertised.

I used to like Epson but the price was right on the Canon and wanting a
cheap 30-40 dollar printer to work in all environments is a little
wishful.  

Anyway thanks for the information I will keep my eye on the list, as
well as openprinting and see if anything changes.
