I have a Z53 that I like very much, but I acquired an HP 4m/L laser
printer from a friend, so I've gone to using it and only use the Z53
on my Windows system. I recommend a review of http://www.linuxprinting.org/
to see how the printers you are sizing up fare there. I took a quick
look, and the 612{2,7} use the hpijs driver, provided by HP. The Z65n
isn't listed. If you want the Lexmark, though, you might try another
model that has a driver supplied by Lexmark - the Z53 is one such.
