Need recommendations for laser or inkjet printer
My inkjet printer died, so I'm looking for a new one, preferably a laserjet but open to an inkjet. I only care for B&W prints since my work is mostly reports and documents, and I have another color printer. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I found that the HPLJ1020 is very inexpensive but compatibility may be an issue. Does anyone have any experinces with it? Distro: Mandriva 10.X but possibly moving to (K)ubuntu. Thanks |
just use any printer addition tool such as kprinter
it will give u a list of printers that the distro supports,u can check that list with the the list of printers that u are getting locally regards |
I usually stick with Epson's. I have never had a problem setting these up in linux.

printers
Epson (upside - very linux friendly, downside - clogged heads not worth repairing)
HP (upside - also linuxfriendly, many have printheads built into cartridge, downside - lowend printers cheaply built) Samsung. Samsung 2150 series lasers come with linux drivers on disk. Older Canons are also compatible as are some Imagewriters. Also follow links posted. good luck |
PostScript and a NIC makes setup easy on any Unix-like OS. I bought a HP Color LaserJet 2550n and have been extremely happy with it.
