Hi, I need to buy a printer to plug into a FreeBSD 4.8 box which is in Japan, but unfortunately I don't get to go there to install it :( I am wondering if anyone has experience with currently available colour printers that are obtainable in Japan. Have a look through the linuxprinting.org page and Epson's .jp site the PM-3700C seems suitable, but I don't know if it works in FreeBSD or not.
