Well, not completely OT because I do need one that will work on Fedora.
I have found a number of ink jet all-in-ones that work well on Fedora,

that much, and every single one of them eventually (after I've had it
for a
few months) develops a head clog that is so bad that not even the
printer's
cleaning cycle can fix it. I have tried some of the cleaning kits with
not
much success (I'm a lousy handyman), and even if I could get the cleaning
kits to work, I'd rather find a printer where I can avoid this headache.
So, is there any such thing as an all-in-one ink jet printer that does
not
suffer from this problem if it is not used regularly? Question #2 is, are
any of the all-in-one laser printers any good and work (all functions)
with
Fedora Linux?
Thanks,

If replacing your current unit, I suggest exploring color laser
technology instead of ink jet. May not be that much more expensive
and the printer can sit at idle power with no problems.
I'd recommend one that has network connectivity and does PostScript
(or manufacturer's emulation, like Brother's BR-3).
If you go with a color laser, be aware that the toner
cartridges they send (starter toner) is only 10%
filled and you will run out very quickly.
