It's not directly supported by Linux as in the printer being fairly new. And the features of the printer are not supported by the current linux drivers. The TurboPrint package supports it much better, and it will give you information as to the ink tank status (This printer has 6 ink tanks). And will let you do the head cleaning stuff etc. Plus allowing you to configure the printer for bordered or borderless printing etc etc.. As to the ink tanks being refillable, well I personally don't recommend it. But I'm sure there would be some Printer Ink companies out there which will have them for this model if you want it. (I found that the refilling of the ink tanks, tend to reduce the head life of the printer. Which will also mean that you will have to change the print heads at a more regular interval. So I stick to the Canon originals in this case.)

IOW, you mean that it is not directly supported in linux, but needs drivers that are *not* open source?
