I am very happy with my HP Officejet 2410series and 5310 series printers. I use this software from the Ubuntu repositories... hpijs hplip hplip-data hplip-gui On my main system I'm still using 9.04, as I upgrade other computers I'm using 9.10, and PC-BSD. I recently made a new live CD-ROM with 9.10 and I was very happy with how easy it is to do this using <a href="http://uck.sourceforge.net/">http://uck.sourceforge.net/</a> BTW, I used to do HP printer support. <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 9:06 AM, raymond house <<a href="mailto:raymondh40@gmail.com">raymondh40@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a new printer, do I need a model that is compatible with Linux? I have a HP printer and the CD that comes with it says it's only compatible with Windows and Mac. I use Ubuntu 9.1. However with Ubuntu I'm able to use all of the printer functions. Thanks, Ray </blockquote></div>
