Even that can be a bit hit/miss. I've got a Brother Laser MCF-7360N
Printer that is AWFUL to get printing under Linux.

I agree with Chuck here... I have a Brother laser printer, and it works
quite well. HP printers have done well in the past.

Mike worked on this untill he pulled all his hair out!

Last year I installed a Canon D420 and with the help of a Canon Linux
techy got it to work fine. Alicia wanted the copier function so she has
the D420 and I bought the 6230

It prints a test page. It has occasionally printed other things.

Now Canon says they have no Linux support.

Does someone have an Ubuntu system that we could try this on?

According to this page
http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Canon/Canon-BJC-6200 it's not well
supported, but you should be able to get something out of it. For my money
it's HP or Brother for printing under Linux. I will not even begin to look
at LexMark, and Canon has been tough in the past as well.
