I've only tried the 69x and 66x series.  I've NEVER needed a win
dirver and with those series, color worked flawlessly.  `course I
haven't used an inkjet printer in about two years.  Lately I've been
using a laser Brother 1440 and have been quite happy w/o color.  I'm
not much on digital photography ;o)  I *still* prefer film and
chemically produced prints <shurg> <just me....>
