Hi there,

I've got an older Canon inkjet printer, the Pixma iP300. I guess I
don't use it that intensively, because ink cartridges last me about a
year, but it has served me very well the last 3 years or so and now I
always recommend Canon inkjets to my customers. I am very pleased
with the output and the there is no electronics in the ink tanks,
which are separate from the head; I believe the head can be replaced
as a separate item, if necessary, but I have had no problems with mine.

The Pixmas seem to be well-supported on the Mac, and if I look at
http://127.0.0.1:631 I find duplexing options there (for both short-
and long-sided binding). Likewise /etc/cups/ppd/iP3000.ppd mentions
these same duplexing options.

I don't know how much help this is to you, but if it helped you to
choose Canon I would be pleased, because I have had nothing but
satisfaction from their products.

Stroller.
