Guys,
are u sure about the
quality/usability/running-cost/durablity/comaptibility
of these printers , my experience with Epson, Lexmark(compaq IJ600) and
Canon printers - which I have owned personally - has been very bad . My old
Epson stylus something gave
constant problems with it's head /cartridge and my canon sp2100 had very
expensive/difficult to obtain cartriges . Support was next to non-existant
for
them - let alone "Linux-Support" .
I have since then shifted to HP printers and scanners as well
which i find
are more broadly compatible has better drivers and thus better print quality
under CUPS . The cartridges are easily refilled ( can do myself ) and 3rd
party
"compatible" cartridges are available . They are also faster ( DJ 3550 -
very fast )
and simpler to maintain .
Just my own experience though - can't generalise for all current
models .
- pinaki.

All stylus versions have their recommended drivers in FC3, 4. In FC3 C40,
50,
...84 and lots more are present. C45 was not released then. The cost is
very
less <3.0 K. C64 has better features...but the choice depends on intended
purpose.
