I have often been warned about Lexmark printers. I never even consider
them.

I have used OKI black 7 White printers  with both Linux and Windows for
some 12 years now with no problems:
OSs Open SUSE 9 to 12.2, Knoppix 3 to 7, SLAX 5 upwards
Widows XP, vista , Win 7
Win Vista and XP dual boot
Win 7 reserved for Windows (client requirement) but dual boots with Live
DVDs (SUSE) and Knoppix
All work ok with OKI printers
Regards eion

Thanks for all the help and advice from everyone. I now have bought a printer, an HP 5520, which will please bad apple. When I tried to set it up I was told that there were no drivers found for that series. SO I updated hplip file and all was well.

It seems ok. I am using the USP port at the moment. It is supposed to also work with wifi but I will leave that for another day.
