Photo quality printing with linux

[Joel Hammer]

I base this on my lexmark printer. It has good linux support, but, I seem
to recall from the documentation, that for high quality photo printing the
linux drivers might not be the best choice. I hope I am wrong about that.
I do know that two way communication is required for best quality printing,
and you can't get that with a samba served printer. So, maybe that is where
that impression comes from.
