        Hello!  I use an Epson 640, which works fine in 360 dpi mode.  I
haven't tried higher resolutions yet (I need to install a newer LINUX than
what I have).  Try to avoid Winprinters.  Most manufacturers don't tell if
their printer works with LINUX or not, or if their printer is a Winprinter
or not.  I would look at www.deja.com and search the LINUX newsgroups for
color inkjet support.  Also, there are several vendors that sell
LINUX-based PCs.  You might check with them.  

                                Hope this helps,
