I certainly wouldn't consider Dell printers in the "popular" catagory,
I've actually never physically SEEN a Dell printer! :)

By popular I mean the printers people are likely to buy at Bestbuy, or
printers likely bought by companies. The likes of Canon, HP, Epson, etc.
for home users, and adding the likes of Toshiba for business users.

That said, even with the popular manufacturers there will be some that
won't work, so as you and I have said, you have to check the list before
making a choice on printer, it's not really that big a deal IMHO.
