Bought for the office an Epson C2800n (color laser) for something like 250€
(after rebates)...
A bit big, but works fine, PS, 128MB of cache, networked (Windows and cups set
it up auto-magicaly), descent speed, not too noisy, cheap in the long run...
Ok... it is huge (24.0 Kg)... ^_^

It *used* to be that that *inkjets* were not. The *lasers* are all
PostScript. (This might have changed since the last time *I* looked at
Lexmark.)

I noticed someone mentioned HP OfficeJet's.
I have a J4580, which is not supported under Centos-5.5.
(In fact, very few OfficeJet's seem to be supported.)

However, Dag Wieers pointed out that one has to install
the latest hplip (together with hpijs and libsane)
from <http://packages.sw.be/hplip/>.

I did this, and find the OfficeJet works perfectly now
under CentOS.

Yes, HP *InkJets* need 'bleeding edge' 'drivers' (which are really just
means that the additional model *names* have been added to the
'driver'), along with the needed .ppd files for the new printers. I
don't think the new printers require any new actual *code* -- they all
use the same basic raster format and the same basic driver protocol
(they all use the same GS ijs rasterizer).
