[tlug] Printer recommendations if I can't fix mine?

[Dave M G <dave@example.com>]

TLUG,

My Canon Pixus iP3100 printer is no longer printing colour correctly. It 
prints everything in shades of blue.

Well... black and white printouts still come out fine. Just if there's 
any colour, it goes off.

I looked around online and found people recommending that it might just 
be a matter of cleaning the something-or-others in the printer. However, 
the cleaning instructions were beyond me.

So...

Unless someone here knows of a reliable printer cleaning/fixing service 
that is cheaper than buying new, I'm in the market for a new printer.

Has anyone bought a good printer that is 100% Linux (Ubuntu) compatible 
recently? Any recommendations in the 10,000 to 20,000 yen range?

I don't have any special needs. I think these days any printer will 
probably deliver acceptable resolution. Linux compatibility (= ease of 
set up) is the only concern.

And... if I get a new printer, anyone is welcome to my old one for free. 
Does decent black and white printing, comes with some extra ink 
cartridges, and maybe you're more handy than me and you'll know how to 
get the colour working.
