Not very darn many 10's in the world. For the price, this is one. I already had Sane and Xsane installed. Plugged it in. Installed HPLIP from the Debian repositories. Set up two printer drivers in CUPS, one for the printer, one for the fax. Rebooted ... Everything worked.
This printer is a HP Officejet 5610.

Got this drive to replace a problematic Plextor PX-716A. Connected it and it worked ... Period ... End of Story.
Wrote data cd and .iso, copied dvd, played regular audio CD and MP3s from cd.
If you need this type of drive you can't go wrong here, IMO.

Have been meaning to rate this card for a while, but didn't realize there was already one here. It's really hard to find. A more intuitive place for it would seem to be 'Network Cards ... Realtek'. I'm glad to see that the last couple reviews show that the word on this chipset is finally beginning to get out. I posted these comments to a regular forum, but wanted them here as well.
Do NOT screw around with ndis wrappers for this card. Go to http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page ... get their drivers and follow their installation instructions carefully. When you get to the point where they want you to use the 'iw...' commands, do this first:
depmod -a
modprobe rt2500
ifconfig ra0 up
Then carry on.
This is not a difficult driver to get working and it is a great chipset.

Install easy on both Fedora (parallel) & Debian (usb-laptop). Had some problems with Debian install - unreliable printing images - sometimes works, sometimes not. Trying to print from either Mozilla or Firefox closes the browser window, and no print. Regular text Douments, even with images and fancy formatting work fine, tho. Fedora works fine from any document source ... On either system, I can only get 600x600, Changing Printer Properties to 1200 made no difference. ... Not sure if usb connection is partly to blame for Debian problems. When I get a chance to test the laptop with parallel, I'll report if it makes significant improvment. For the price ($100 after rebate), this is a great printer. Shipped with 1500 pages of toner. but a 2500 sheet refill is $80. Maybe by the time I need one, I'll find a better price.
Will also get around to testing it on Windows one of these days.
As mentioned above ... Using CUPS generic PCL6 driver on Linux. Lexmark supplies a Redhat & Suse compatible driver, but I suspect it's the same PCL driver I'm using. Didn't try, tho. It's a .rpm, and I'm not sure it would work on FC3 ... Works plenty good to suit me now, and at the moment, I'm not inclined to mess with it.
