I was motivated by this ad, so I recapped it above, but I'm writing on a different topic, so I changed the subject line.<br>
<br>
Looking at the info on the printer, I thought it was pretty attactive in some ways -- very fast, cheap, color, good brand -- but there were a couple of things that I'd really like that I wasn't sure I would get from that printer. Specifically, I want networking, and I also want to know that the printer would work well with my Linux box.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know a trustworthy site with info about printers that work well with Linux (e.g., have good Linux drivers)?<br>
<br>
Or has anyone had good experiences using Linux with a relatively cheap networkable printer that they can recommend?<br>

Auto detection and the whole nine yards. In fact, printing to that particular printer from Linux was more reliable than printing from Windows. <br>
