I've installed Debian a few times, and it's really not all that
complex (provided, at least, that nothing goes wrong).

Well, you can see information on the drivers for that model here:

It seems pretty positive.  I've had difficulty getting a Lexmark Z42

seems to me to be one of the more complicated areas of Linux, but it
could be that I've just had bad luck in this area.
