Printer advice

[Paul Pathiakis]

Hi,

Something I caution people about....  although the printers on 
openprinting.org work for Linux, there are issues.  Be careful to read 
if any of them have additional 'linux' driver software... aka not being 
completely open.  They provide binary drivers (like some from Brother) 
and cause issues.  So far, HP has done well with HPLIP, but they really 
should get it up to speed with similar functionality to the Windoze 
software.
