Re: [libreoffice-users] Which printer for best libreoffice integration ?

CISS - I assume that is the ink tank design that you fill the "tanks" 
from ink bottles. Some are internal while others are external with a ink 
"tubes" coming out of the printer.

I have seen some home office printers that include built in tanks where 
you add the ink from a bottle. Epson has an "ET" line that include ink 
bottles worth that is about 33 ink cartridges for each color.  Canon has 
a "G" line with their "mega tanks".  The ink bottles seems to be much 
less than their ink cartridges for the Canon printers I have bought.  HP 
has their own family of this type of printers.

When I bought my last Canon printer, I did not see any CISS printers.  
Actually, there seems to have them on sale.  The only proble seem to be 
there is no Linux support in any English language country's sites.
