There's a strong thread in this thread of discussion that people who stay loyal to one brand seem to have success with it, for whatever that brand is. Its more an issue of the Devil you know being better than the one you don't I suspect.
I got once burned on a Konica and never went back. I use HP, (not exclusively) but I am appalled at the amount of software you have to install just to get them to work properly. +1 It's impossible for a beginner to install. I used Linux some years ago and hardware like printers and scanners needed a weekend's work to get anything like what you got with an hour or so with windows and the cd

There seems to have been little progress with installation and even though I'm reasonably literate, I can't get anywhere near the quality I see from my 'phone using a simple download-and-print-app. The app takes about a minute to install, it detects the printer and that's it. I can only conclude that everyone here is a Linux expert!
(I've been through it enough times to make it easier for me, but jeeze why can't we just install a PPD and be done with it! Curse you HP, its just printing FCS!)
