[Wylug-help] Colour printer buying advice

[Keith McCluskey]

Hi there Louisa,

Not wishing to drop brand names into the discussion but I have a HP DeskJet
950C and have never had any issues printing to it, I try to stick to HP as
you can get their parts and ink cartridges just about anywhere, even my
local Tesco's is selling them

I just try to make sure the driver is already in most distributions prior to
purchase so it saves me searching for a good driver then

Hope this helps
Kind Regards
Keith McCluskey

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 :)
