Seems like every couple months I was buying ink cartridges for my HP Deskjet, so I decided to buy a cheap black & white laser printer. After spending a few hours reading posts on this forum and Googling I was more confused than before I started. Lots of people with printer problems, but hardly any solutions. Anyway, I bit the bullet and ordered a Samsung ML-2510 which arrived today. Cost was $79 after the $60 rebate.

I inserted the toner and some paper and hooked it up to my homemade box running Suse 10.2. Turned the computer on, Suse recognized the printer, and Yast installed it without a gripe. I should add that the ML-2510 wasn't listed in the Yast (CUPS?) choice of printers, but I remembered that the ML-2010 was reported to work, and it did.

The printer came with drivers that include Linux, but I never used them. Manual is on CD, but I haven't looked at it. Web pages and Office documents are printing just fine. Installation was much simpler and quicker than installing a printer under Windows. I saw lots of posts where users complained of the printer's loudness. That's true, but so what?; I'm half deaf anyway. The printed sheets come out a little curled, but quickly return to their flat state. Power consumption is 390 watts, and it comes with Parallel and USB connection.

Sorry for the double post.

Have you added this to the hardware compatibility list?
