Your not thinking. I will not buy a printer because I have
one now and I use only Ububtu now. A new Ubuntu user who has a
printer that works on Windows will want it to work on his
Ubuntu. It is 90% certain it will.
So do not worry. Very few Ubuntu users can make a error in
buying a printer. You pay $25.00 for an inkjet you take your
chances. If you buy a Laser Printer it will work fine. All HP
printers work with Ubuntu.
