As far as I know, Canon is the only vendor with separate individual colour cartridges.

I would have to say that Canon would be the last printer to choose from for Linux.. They are in fact, ANTI Linux.. If you could believe it.. They have actually issued "cease and desist" orders on people writing canon drivers for linux.. Nuts.. HP and Lexmark have actually written drivers for Linux for their colour printers, so they may be a good choice to start with .

I purchased a Xerox DocuPrint for work recently and it had srivers and full instructions in the manual on how to configure it for Linux (using RedHat as the example). I was so impressed I made a comment on the warranty card when i sent it back. BTW at $800 for a flat paper laser with 500 sheet feeder and network card it was pretty well priced too.

Play around with different drivers and run a test print to see which is best for your particular model. I beleive I am using redhats bjc2000 from memory.

Hi Epson Stylus C80. Has individual cartridges and uses esc/p2. Should work with a EC900 or 980 driver. It is a little expensive but it does churn out up to 20ppm !

The latest Australian MacWorld has quite a favourable review on the latest cheap Epson Printer, the Stylus C80. It has separate tanks, but I couldn't say how it performs on PC or Linux systems.

The HP1700 series supposedly has individual color cartridges. Don't know about availability or if it is best. I've been looking for an inkjet that has postscript and came across this one. There is a version of the HP1700 which has Adobe PS RIP if you can find a place that will sell you one. The HP website won't.
