Every Linux distribution I've tried has a driver for this printer. In fact, some distros recognize it right away, and I don't even have to pick the driver--I just click "Add Printer," and that's it.

I've used this printer with Blag, Knoppix, Mepis, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, SuSE, Mandriva, Yoper, among others.

Excellent Linux printer.

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.20-15-386
Distribution: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)


Excellent support in every Linux distribution I've used in the last two years.

It's usually recognized straight away. I can just click Add New Printer and then go with the defaults, and it works straightaway.
