   One of the printers in the supported list of printers,   
   is from the year 2008 (17 years ago). The units tend to be   
   monochrome laser AIO. One in the list is color and is not   
   supported (as the driver details would have to be different).   
      
   A question then, would be whether the preferred printing   
   driver methodology is still CARPS.   
      
   See the second review on the page here. I'm surprised there   
   would still be a page for it. OK, it is listed as "out of stock".
