[plug] deskjets and Linux

[John Summerfield]

My daughter the linux user's thinking of getting a new printer, one she 
can call her own (she's using my BJ300 at present). I have a bjc4200 and 
am somewhat happy with it: however, it does miss the odd line of dots when 
printing from ghostscript. I attribute this to the fact that 
ghostscript/postscript work at 300 DPI which doesn't translate well to the 
360 DPI that Canon (and Epson) printers use.

It occurs to me that deskjets, which work at 300 DPI (and presumambly 
multiples on recent models) may well work better.

Any experiences with them, particularly cheaper models (she is, after all, 
an impoverished University student)?
