What is the best printer for the price?

[Brian Cluff]

Look for printers with at least all the features you want.  Then look at 
the yield you get per cartridge and divide that by the cartridges price 
and eliminate the most expensive yields.  Keep in mind that the more 
expensive cartridges can be the cheapest ones if the yield is high.
Then check the printers that are left and see if their cartridges 
require chips and if so has it been reverse engineered.  You want to 
make sure that 3rd party cartridges are available.  If there aren't any, 
the printer manufacturer can decide when your printer is obsolete, so 
eliminate those too.  Lean towards cartridges that aren't chipped at 
all; you don't want the manufacturer to sue the 3rd party guys and make 
your future supply go away... not to mention shame on them for chipping 
the carts in the first place.
Lastly check to make sure that there aren't any weird hoops you need to 
jump through to make it work on Linux.

Once you've gone through all that, pick the best one left... or the 
prettiest one... whatever tickles your fancy.
