Any reccomendations for a good color inkjet printer to buy?  Image
quality (including on plain paper) and usability under Linux are primary
factors...

HP 697 and 712 should be alright.  I have an associate who uses them on his
mandrake machine.
I am not sure where to get the drivers, but they are both parallel port and
have excellent ink economy for inkjet printers.

I would stay away from the 7xx series of HP printers.  They aren't fully
functional under Linux. THey do not support PCL 3 like the 600 series
or the 800 series.

Indeed.  For a list of all known working printers, see

1. HELP -- Need advice to buy inkjet printer ------------

 hi

I am trying to buy a decent printer for my Linux box. I need some advice
from all you great guys here! I want the following in my printer:

* inkjet
* postscript (if possible. not important)
* DEFINITELY work with Linux
* good quality lettering. (solid, smooth characters in print - I'm going
to be printing documents for work)
* price range :  around $200.
* tried and tested by fellow linux users :))

If somebody in the Dallas/Fort Worth area wants to sell his good Linux
printer second-hand at a fair price, please email me.

thanks in advance

regds,
Kaushik
