what kind of printer should I buy?

[vint]

Well you know I have to give my 2 cents worth on this subject because of the trouble I've had with my Canon printer.  If I would have known I was going to be using a Linux OS 2 years ago I would have purchased one of the HP laser printers because they work on Linux out of the box without any problems from what I've read.  Stay away from Canon as they have a difficult process to install their Linux drivers that can make a Linux beginner grab a sledge hammer and beat the printer to death.  I have first hand knowledge of this frustration.
