    I have HP PSC 1315. I tried removing the color cartridge, and it would just print without it. Unfortunately that stops working after you restart the printer. Anyway, I am not sure what the use case for that could be.

    It has partial support on HPLIP, so it works nicely with Linux. For high DPI printing, I can use Windows 7 VM.
    By the way, try downloading the NokoPrint app from Google Play Store if you have Android. It allows you to print directly from phone over a USB cable.

    I just wish I wasn’t such an idiot when I got it. I never soldered before, and the first thing I tried was to replace the USB port on this. Somebody should have told me about flux. 30 minutes, no flux, 520°C of heat, burned board, and drunk USB port at an angle later, it somehow works. I don’t even know if the solder pads are still present or it’s just the blobs somehow making a connection 💀
