I went with the HP vote a month ago and bought an HPLaserjet1018 from Tigerdirect for $130 without checking the driver situation. Much to my surprise the HP website said they don't support Linux.
Why "much to your surprise" when you didn't check the driver situation for such a cheap (laser)-printer?
Maybe he thought that all HP printers were supported. I wasn't aware that some are and some are not, too. It's a lesson for us all: check before we buy, don't assume it will work in linux just because some other hardware from the same brand works. And even when we check we are bitten: I got a haupauge 1300 tvcard and it doesn't fully work, for instance. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
