Could not print with this printer that I found in a trash (no reaction from the printer, however control panel and screen are working). Incompatible ? or printer dead ?.

Scanning B&W and color : OK (tested with the default OS software, named 'Simple Scan').

Displaying Ink level : NOK ('not supported').

Driver USB : PnP OK (CUPS 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.5).

Cards reader : not tested.
