Hi! I would like to hear what printers go good w/our operating system. While back, I should have checked w/y'all like I'm doing now but I just went ahead and bought a Konica-Minolta PagePro 1350W. Now that W at the end of 1350 is a huge word that means WINDOWS! grrrr! It's a great printer 21pgs/min etc but it doesn't like linux at all and their tech spt will tell you as much. I googled round while back...there is some stuff there w/it and windows but I have had no luck. I got it sold for what I pd. 150 bucks and now I want something good that we know works really well w/linux.. Whatcha all think? thx John Rose

Most HP printers are also fine, though some of the lower end new models are troublesome. I am using all of the following without incident: HP LaserJet 4ML HP LaserJet 2100 HP Color LaserJet 2550 HP Color LaserJet 4500 There's a pretty good list of what works here: http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi Cheers,

Can't beat $70 to print 6700 pages. Just make sure a high yield toner is available for the model. (The difference between low and high yield toner is usually $10, but almost twice the output on hy) Brother HL5140 + 3 hy toner catridges = ($450 + $paper)/20,000 sheets (lifetime of drum) => price per sheet, plus $electricity of course. HL5140 emulates PCL6.
