[ubuntu-uk] Recommendations for a printer?

[David King]

I want to update the list regarding my printer.

I decided to go for the Epson Stylus Photo PX730WD after all, and it 
arrived this week. I just set it up today, and installed drivers I found 
online. The printer driver was specific for this printer, the scanner 
driver is Image Scan for Linux.

I have tested printing from Ubuntu, all worked well. I also scanned in a 
photo which went well. I have not explored all the options yet, but it 
seems that this printer works perfectly in Ubuntu and the print quality 
on plain paper is of a high standard, and the scan quality is also very 
good.

Installing the software was very easy and I had no hassles at all. Just 
as it should be. I looked at the printed instructions for installing in 
Windows which looked fairly straightforward, but after having found the 
drivers online already, installing in Ubuntu was probably easier than I 
expect it is in Windows.


I can certainly recommend this printer to anyone who is looking for 
something similar. It has the ability to print straight from a memory 
card which I tried and got good results.
