Current recommendations for Linux-compatible printer?

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Omer,Most (if not all) of HP's All in One printers should suffice you.

* Drivers are fully open source (see: http://hplipopensource.com)
* Print, Fax, Scan are fully supported.
* Very easy installation
* The market is flooded with NON HP replacement cartridges.
* The printers are actually quite cheap: the top of the line (8500 Pro AIO)
costs 900 NIS

Thanks,
Hetz
