Planetary Ponderings

Yesterday I had to buy a new printer because my old one packed up over the weekend. Since I run Ubuntu/Kubuntu Linux exclusively at home, I needed a printer I could be sure would work in Linux. This means that generally I need to get either HP or Epson printers. I've had both makes of printers before, and they've both served me well, so I have no problem being "limited" to those two.

Well my review finally when live today. It's a printer review with a difference... it's reviewed on Linux. I have a Windows computer at home that I log onto every now and then for developing openlp.org, but for this review I was determined not to go there. I was largely pleased with the printer, but you can read more about it in my review on IOL Technology.

I've been given a printer to review, one of these fancy printer/scanner/copier jobs, with photo-quality printing. Big printer, but it looks nice... all black...

Obviously I'm going to check that it works well with Linux. I have a Windows box to fall back on if necessary, but we'll see. Which brings me to my first issue...
