What do you want to print? If it's basically mono stuff, I'd heartily recommend a Kyocera laser printer. They're fairly cheap, very reliable and very cheap to run (under 1p per page). For colour, I use an Epson C40 USB printer, which was very cheap and produces pretty good results here from the GIMP.

SuSE Is All U Need Linux user# 313696 Linux box# 199365 Like the man said, it depends on what you want to do with it. My latest is a sleeper, the hp Photosmart 7350. I found a refurb at Fry's for $70 USD. On

color paper it makes great color prints and using the optional black cartridge, good clean docs. Cartridges are small but seem to be good on doling out the ink. I would buy another! RA

Regarding HP's HPIJS driver see file:///usr/share/ghostscript/*/doc/hpijs/hpijs_readme.html Regarding the GimpPrint driver see file:///usr/share/ghostscript/*/doc/stp/README or "man gs-stp". Caution: What is listed under http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/productssupported.php or http://www.linuxprinting.org/database.html or http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php3 shows the supported printers for the recent driver version. But the recent driver version is often not included in your SuSE Linux. Therefore you should verify information from the Internet with the documentation on your local disk - see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2000/08/jsmeix_print-einrichten.html I) Prerequisites ... Regarding HP versus Epson versus Canon: On the one hand HP's all-in-one ink-cartridges are expensive. On the other hand for most (all?) Epson printers: If the fine ink channels in the print-head get congested it is normally very expensive to exchange the print-head. For Canon you can often exchange both the ink and the print-head but Canon printers are often not supported by Linux - but you can buy a non-free driver at http://turboprint.de/english.html For background information see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/11/jsmeix_print-info-for-manufacturers.ht...
