I've never played with any of the all-in-one devices, figuring that they try to do everything, and don't do any of them very well. As for the splatjets, Epson is probably the best supported. HP provides drivers for theirs, although I've found them a bit more difficult to configure than the Epsons, at least on SuSE 8.[12]. >Good support for my Lexmark Z53. Lexmark even provides linux versions >of the support modules (check ink levels, align cartridges, etc.) I too have a Z53, and originally used their drivers. The gimp-print drivers are significantly better than LexMark's though. The downside of LexMark is that they try very hard to prevent third party ink cartridges from working. Their laser printers are excellent though. Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.
