On HP photo paper, the printer leaves evenly spaced lines on the image that are perpendicular to the direction of paper feed. One of the cures for this given on the HP website is to "calibrate the line feed". However, the Linux compatibility page on the HP website for this printer says that this function is not supported under Linux. Another unsupported function is to print a diagnostic page. (It will print a "test page" and a printhead calibration page, which are different pages then the diagnostic page.)

I was able to install in the printer in Fedora Core 11 without any problems.

This wide format printer will print in a wide format from Gimp, if the paper and printer settings are done correctly. You must use the page setup to define a custom paper size. However, it will not do it's advertised "13 x 19 borderless printing" with any setting that I have found. (I have not tried allowing one setting of the image to be larger than the paper size yet.) It can be made to print a nearly 13 x 19 inch image with small borders.
