[Wylug-help] Colour printer buying advice

Hi all,

We're looking to buy a colour printer but after browsing through the
millions of different options available and reading countless reviews,
I'm still at a loss about which one to go for.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Our criteria:
- we won't use it much so it doesn't have to be particularly quick or
heavy duty (we've got an old mono laser printer for when we don't need
colour);
- not too expensive to buy (up to a max of about £200);
- not too expensive to run - we won't use that much ink but we don't
want to be locked out because we've not replaced the cartridge every 15
minutes or some other marginally-justified effort to rip us off;
- either laser or inkjet is fine;
- decent print quality - photo quality would be ideal but not essential;
- and, finally an essential: works with linux - ubuntu's gutsy after its
release on Thursday ;)

So any suggestions?

-Louisa :)
