They are both very Linux friendly > companies and their devices and software work with Linux. Correctly. I disagree... according to www.linuxprinting.org their suport is fine. Let me quote, "As for the DeskJets, HP recently released an open-source driver kit for the bulk of its modern consumer DeskJet line. After finishing a lengthy patent search, with version 1.0.1 they made it free software by removing the "for usage with HP products only" from the BSDish license. So HP is near the top of the heap in terms of free software support for its inkjet devices (Free software driving Epson Photo printers still produces better color quality)." (taken from http://www.linuxprinting.org/vendors.html#hp ) I personally haven't tried their HPIJS driver yet, but I think HP is on a good way. Epson might have better quality (under Linux), though. Good luck anyways Roman
