Hi:

I fix Printers. Epson Printers are very good if you do a Whole bunch of
Printing. If not, then Epson Printers get head clog! Then you might take
a look at a Canon S xxx Printer. These make use of Ink Tanks. The Print
Head can be removed, and Cleaned if it becomes Clogged. Epson requires
major Surgery to do that. My Canon S-750 in Linux prints real good in
B/W, but not in Color. 

Brother Printers make Linux Drivers for all their recent printers. I've
not tried one yet, but it might be good. Their Laser Printers are Low
Cost, and come in Color too.

Alfred!
