I would agree with the HP thing... I use them exclusively and haven't really had many issues under Fedora. The only printers you have to watch out for are the ones that don't support lpd directly. Those don't even work for the i.

I've had trouble with printers too. HP has developed something called
HPLIP that seems more or less equivalent to the printer console apps
available in windows. It works in conjunction with CUPS, and the printer
apparently needs to be locally attached (for HPLIP, not CUPS.) AFAIK, HP
is the only printer mfr that actually supports Linux.
