What would the community recommend? His needs are simple...mostly B&W papers. On rare occasions he needs to print a paper with color photos/graphs embedded. Not looking to spend a lot, just enough to satisfy the requirement.
I wouldn't buy a color printer at all. I assume, every decent college has some sort of print-shop on the campus where you can make high-quality color printouts for pennies. For black&white, I'd buy a decent laser printer. Personally, I don't own a printer anymore since finishing university - I print everything (usually a couple of pages per month) at work. If I'd have to buy one now, I'd look for an appropriate Brother model. They seem to have decent support for Linux.
Right. *Laser* printers are way *cheaper* than inkjets. (Really!) A printer that speak PostScript is instantly plug-and-play for a Linux system (any distro, any version).
