Few weeks ago I bought Epson CX3200 scanner-printer, to replace my dead HP
660C printer.
Printing worked out of the box, after re-running print configuration
utility in Gnome.
The scanner needs a more recent kernel version (2.4.21 vs. the 2.4.18
which I have under RedHat 8.0, which I didn't bother to update more than
absolutely necessary). But it works well in photocopier mode, which is OK
by me because I have also a separate scanner.
The cost was 700NIS including VAT at Office Depot (may be available now
for 673NIS in a sale).
DISCLAIMER: I didn't care that much about ink cartridge prices, because I
don't print much but you may want to check this before making a final
decision.
In general, you may want to consult the hardware Howto distributed
knowledge base available in the Internet, and which can be found by means
of Google keywords. This is excellent! For each model mentioned, you get
information about people's experience, what workaround they used, what
tricks and tips they have.
