I was hoping you guys could recommend a colour inkjet for me.
Our HP 950C has started feeding paper not-very-straight and the
CUPS drivers don't seem to get the margins right so I have to use
align.ps and other cruft.

We use it for printing business cards, address labels, letterheads,
whatever, all of which start out as PostScript files. Or, we did, when
it used to print straight.

So, mostly I'm looking for fairly high quality colour printing,
reliably-accurately-straight paper feeding, good CUPS support with
accurate margins, etc., and not too expensive to buy or run.

Speed and paper tray capacity don't much matter; we use our monochrome
laser printer for most printing. We can also be flexible about
connection type (USB or whatever).

Any thoughts? (-: It's the CUPS drivers and accurate paper feed stuff
that stop me just going out to buy whatever's cheap in Target this
week.
