Actually, I have no intent to purchase another printer, I don't need
one. As for checking the Linux list first: of course that's a wise
move. However, a caveat to this would have been helpful, which is:

Being Linux compatible is no assurance that the printer will produce
pages even half as good as Windoze. I know from personal
experience...had I purchase a printer eight years ago, that was on a
Linux compatible list. Sure, it printed out as expected...but the
result was far inferior than what i got with Windoze. Which was one of
two major reasons I could not eliminate a Micro$lut OS from my system.
(The second was being part-time troubleshooter for Windoze
users...glad that's over with.)
