Quote: Another one to avoid is Lexmark. There is an all-in-one here which requires 100MB+ of drivers to get working, and brings the computer down to a crawl when it is in use. Not just that, but the cartridges are expensive, the print quality is lame and only the scanner works now.
I recently got a Lexmark E332N, and while I've certainly not had it long enough to have anything sensible to say about its reliability, the print quality is fine and the toner seemed quite sensibly-priced. (The Samsung was cheaper, but didn't have Postscript.)
I hear you on the drivers, though: all the documentation said that I had to download and install a 10Mb binary RPM in order to print to it, but the whole reason I got it is that it's a networked LPD printer, and all it actually needed was a single line added to /etc/printcap...
