That may well be the case, at least for their splatjet printers.  I've had
excellent experience with their ``Optra'' class of laser printers, using
them with many Unix and Linux systems.

I would probably buy and recommend Epson printers for Linux, particularly
after getting an HP Photosmart which wasn't nearly as easy to configure on
Linux as the Epsons.
