Someone was asking yesterday about printers for Linux - sorry, already deleted
that message.
Anyway, there was a discussion about that last week, and the people using Epson
printers were pretty happy with their products. Being in the market for a new
one myself, I took their advice and picked up an Epson Stylus Color 740 (they
were saying that the Photo700 was great). I am VERY PLEASED with it! It is much
better than my old printer was (hp600). The basic rule that the newbies
repeatedly mention is that the hp7xx printers are "winprinters" and will not
work. As I was looking at printers, the "Linux specialist" at the store said
practically all Epsons are supported. I had to download a driver for the 740,
and it is rated as working almost perfectly. There were several printers from
Epson (and other makers) listed as working perfectly. You might check this page
out to help you in your search for a good printer:
