Of course this is designed for heavier use than a £50 home office printer. So it comes at a higher price, but like they say you get what you pay for. To be honest if I was ever to buy another Inkjet, it would be one of these.
This looks like a cue for a bit more detail from me: it's for occasional printing, but it would be nice to have photo-quality colour printing for camera pictures. We were looking at things a bit over £100, but Epson just changed their range on us and I remember past ink cheats of theirs.
It looks like the story so far is: Lexmark have patchy drivers; Canon are GNU/Linux-unfriendly; Epson have good drivers, but may rob you blind if the third party ink makers don't avoid the problem; HP have good drivers for most printers, but may do ink tricks too. I hate peripherals.
