HP is pretty good about providing Linux drivers for their printers, unlike other printer manufacturers. Smart move on their part -- even though I'm using an OLD HP Deskjet 660C (retrieved from the no-longer-used equipment pile that all went to recycling a year or two ago), I still buy cartridges from time to time.
I’m fairly lucky. I have two brothers with the urge to have the newest toy to play with, and I get their old printers, hard drives and scanners. I’m waiting for one to fork over a digital camera. They both use HP products.
