All cheap ink jets, and yes, as I said, Lexmark inkjets are often a
problem in Linux.

The C532 works perfect - have one here.
The cups drivers come on the cd in the box IIRC, if not, they are
certainly on the website, and don't require special software etc like
Brother or HP.

Haven't had one of those - but the drivers are clearly listed on the
site - there's a .deb, and rpm, a tarball, many distros listed.

The other eXXX models I've used work fine.

As I said before - their inkjets are a problem.
Their network lasers are all great - they grok standard postscript,
come with sensible ppd files and are completely configurable via the
built in web config panel. We've got lots of 'em.

If you've got a Lexmark laser you can't get to work, feel free to send
it to me :-)
