I asked the same question a few months ago. The responses at that time, along with my own research, led me to purchase an HP PhotoSmart C3135. I needed an all in one, so that's what this printer is. This printer works perfectly for me in OpenSuse 10.1 and 10.2. I actually like the scanner software (Sane) in Linux more. One thing we all seemed to agree on in that previous thread: Avoid Lexmark. Personally, I'd say avoid it for Linux, Windows, Mac, and anything else. For one thing, the ink costs about as much as getting a new printer...

I hate to go off topic by asking about something Linux related, but I
need some opinions, preferably on Linux-friendly printers. Can anyone
direct me to a good Linux-friendly printer that is currently on the
market? I'm not looking for much. At the moment, I only have the
occasional file that I need to print out (mostly airline boarding
passes for work), but I'm sure that if I brought a printer home, my
wife would be interested in printing out photos.

Does anyone have any current printers that they have found to work
reasonably well in recent Linux distros?
