Thats a rebranded Lexmark, right? Lexmarks aren't exactly Linux friendly. My advice: get an HP if possible, they work flawlessly and usually trouble free with Linux.  |

not really in the market for a new printer, because this one is piratically brand new. |

The best resource for determining which printer buy is the Linux Printing website. You name, they probably have it listed, along with what (if any) driver is required. What do you print? If mostly B&W text, look into a cheap laser printer. I have a Brother HL-1440 that's simply amazing considering I paid less than $150 for it. When I need color, I send the file to my son....  |

I really don't do a lot of printing, I just like the idea of a working printer. If need be, I can always use my wife's pc and send the file to the networked printer. |

I went thru hell and back to get them to work, and they never did work right. I then discovered that Lexmark does not really care to make their products function under Linux, so I started spending my money eslewhere: HP. My comment was not meant to be flippant at all. I'm sorry if it seemed that way. |

Sure this printer is about 2 years old, but we hardly ever use it, so to us, it is practically band new. I guess we'll look for a new printer because I love Ubuntu! |
