You've had a lot more trouble with printers than I have. Two Brother laser printers (color and monochrome with scanner) in our house plus an HP Inkjet. The HP worked "out of box" -- the two Brothers required downloading and installing their Linux drivers. Each took about five minutes (both on the network).
