Does this have a 'web interface'?

It's a bit difficult to tell - it certainly has lots of normal software. I mean, the kind of thing where you can control printing and scanning, much like some consumer-grade HP ones

Yeah, that's what i thought. Thanks.
Why they don't widen their market as much as possible with a web GUI i don't know ...

And with normal drivers, no bloatware or other rubbish that nobody requires (e.g. an on-screen warning that tells you the printer that sits next to your PC is out of paper). Most GDI printer are like that, and that's why I require my printers to support a language (PostScript, PCL5/6, ESC-P). And I suppose that's why HP have invented something like PCL3 - which is (one of) their names for GDI, and bears no relation at all to PCL6/6.

I could go on, but thanks for the points.

My bugbear is that proprietary userspace stuff usually means Windows and Mac only, which adds a disincentive for my people to ditch Windows for Linux. Trouble is, even with Cups support, you need to know what's left in your several ink jet cartridges and that can be tricky. Web interfaces get around that problem usually
