dm93 * home PescoPrinter

PescoPrinter is a new HP PhotoSmart PSC 2510 All-in-One; it's pretty nifty. Exports an HTTP interface where you can scan to PDF from linux. It'll even mail the scanned output.

I researched this a bit 6Dec2003, found the HP scrapbooking site, and eventually the HP PhotoSmart PSC 2510 All-in-One. I don't think it prints 13x13, but the cabling in our bedroom is getting out of hand, and replacing the scanner and printer with something that groks 802.11b looks like just the thing! (hmm... some WirelessNetworkingUpsAndDowns)

Looking to see if DebianLinuxJustWorks tonight; just 2 penguins at linuxprinting.org. But that seems to be for lack of fax support or some such irrelevancy. HP support seems excellent: they run the hpinkjet sourceforge project whence comes DebianPackage:hpijs. DebianPackage:hpoj supports photo card access just like the docs say; ptal-devid works, and photod is running, and so on.


31Jan2004 ugh... it's already complaining about needing more color ink. Seem to take C6657AN per HP shopping.

Odd... printing from mmac works, so it's hard to blame the aborted jobs on the ink cartridge. my problem looks a lot like this problem report of 08 Nov 2002; bummer that thread doesn't resolve his problem.

new HP software, VueScan? support --connolly, Thu, 06 Jul 2006 14:51:08 +0000 reply
drivers for the PSC 2510 seem to be updated Jan 2006. VueScan seems to support it too... do we get free upgrades? no... only for a year, and we bought it in 2002. So that would be $49.
