I want to update the list regarding my printer.
I decided to go for the Epson Stylus Photo PX730WD after all, and it
arrived this week. I just set it up today, and installed drivers I found
online. The printer driver was specific for this printer, the scanner

Anybody requiring a cheap mono laser printer, I can recommend the Samsung
ML-1865, £39.99 from Staples.[1] I used the PPA from [2] to install the
drivers and everything has run smoothly since.
Yes but it still urks me that cartridges are more expensive than the printer.

You could just pretend to set up the printer that you're thinking of
buying (as per this guide

it comes up...

I'd have to second that. I bought a HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One a few

use it as a network printer only and
I know that HP printers are good and will work with Ubuntu, but I cannot
find any from HP that do CD printing, which is the thing I am looking
for in a printer, along with the scanning.
