Hi, I am new to this list, but I have been a SuSE linux user since V 7.1.
I wish to purchase a printer that is highly compatible with linux in general,
and SuSE linux in particular without the necessity of an overly obscure or
arcane workaround. Color printing is an absolute must as currently I have a
Lexmark Z51 which has only mono support.

I would like any recommendations that experienced users may have. I have
visted www.linuxprinting.org and found some little, but usefull information
there. I am considering a Canon S800, or an Epson ?C80? printer of the type
that use separate cymk cartridges (which seem preferable over the expensive
lexmark solution). Also I am considering, as a last resort, a Lexmark Z53 or
Z55 and am aware of the lexmark linux drivers available for these. Please
share your knowledge and experiences in this matter with me.... especially in
regard to the above mentioned models or any other model or make that you
might recommend for quality color printing. Thanks
Max Webb
