I like that HP specifically makes Linux drivers available for most of
their printers and updates them. My parents old printer died, and
looking at circular deals, I had them pick up an HP C5580; the printer
itself worked out of the box, my father (who's not a computer type) had
no trouble. The scanner didn't work at first (they're running an older
Ubuntu) but I was able to download and install the latest HP Linux
drivers and it was quite straightforward.

 Just offering a datapoint.

Sincerely,

 Ray Ingles                                             (313) 227-2317

 "As it stands now, for the vast majority of the populace, selecting a
 leader is like deciding which dishwasher detergent to purchase at the
 grocery store. You have a couple of brands with big, flashy, colorful
      boxes, that smell the same, look the same, and are probably
           manufactured by the same company." - Dan J. Rempe
