I got rid of my "New" Linux supported printer after a few months of 
headaches and in-ability to print.  Replaced it with an Epson.

I purchased the Lexmark after learning that they had a Linux driver on 
their site.  I gave the printer away.

If your printer is new enough and the store has a decent return 
policy, run, don't walk to return it.
