The Best Printer

[rab4567]

Does anyone know the best overall compatible printer for linux and does not drink ink like hummer H2?

I have an Epson Stylus C88 that works out of the box with Ubuntu, Ive used it with my machines since 6.10. Can't say on the ink mileage tho, I guess it's fine.

Not to be a HP fanboy, but I'm really digging my HP Photosmart C1680 AIO, drivers work, shared between WinXP and linux machines..just love it. Ink? are there those that use less? maybe but the HP is not a drunken fool.

Yeah thats a good one but I'm looking for an all in one for my brother. I use an epson 3800 everything works but its slow.

I'm using the HP PCS-1315xi all in one and it work fine in linux, scan and print. not a high end printer but works fine for me and doesn't seem to drink ink.

I'm thinking for driver support HP can't be beat.

I think most if not all hp printers work out of the box in ubuntu:D

Generally for HP printers, just plug'em in and they work. Most older epsons(a generation behind the current) work fine. Canon are ropey. Brother printers have debian drivers for download from the brother website, which work well.

Lexmark? Don't even think about it.

Business aimed printers generally work better than consumer ones.
