I've got a Lexmark Optra Ep that just died, and
I need to replace it. I've read the linuxprinting.org
web page, and that has helped some, but I don't see
many of their recommendations in the mail-order catalogs
that I've got.
My wife has been bugging me to get a color printer anyway,
so I guess I'll need to go with an inkjet. But I've thought
the cost/page of the Lexmark is already bad, so I'll
probably be horrified with the operating costs of an inkjet.
I've been using CUPS with the Optra Ep, and it's been working
pretty well. I've liked having the built-in postscript.
Is postscript not a factor on the inkjet printers? (I don't
think postscript is mentioned in the inkjet section of the
linuxprinting.org webpage).
I've also searched for past recommendations. The webpage
seems to push Epson C80 the most. I've seen some complaints
of reliability for other Epson models, but nothing specifically
for the C80.
Any recent experience with these (or other) printers (and info
about where to buy them)? I'm running potato, and using the
parallel connector for printing.
