I am looking for users' experience with printers under OpenSuSE.
I would highly recommend going with an all in one from HP, or better yet an Officejet to also include an easy to use fax. HP has been working hard to provide an excellent Linux driver and software solution, and the SUSE printer guru has been working hard to integrate all its features into the Yast printer module. The results are very good for the average user, hard to go wrong. One thing to check, since supplies are where they make their money now, check the amount of ink in the cartridges. Size is not that important, but a cartridge that only has 5ml of ink will not last long and will prove fairly expensive. Also, HP replaces the inkjets with the cartridge, meaning great looking printing for a long time. Epson only replaces the ink wells, meaning cheaper replacements, but clogging (and lots of wasted ink in cleaning and recleaning) of the inkjets. But Epson is also well supported in Linux.
