RE: laser printer recommendation for personal use?




Always liked the Samsung or Brother models due to
small footprint and
looks (well one can argue about that) but not sure
how good they are
with Linux and specifically our favourite distro.

Hi,

personally, I own a Brother 1430 (yes, it is an older
model) and just recently installed etch after using it
under gentoo for quite a while.
After installing printconf, everything was set up
automatically and the printer worked out-of-the-box.
Perfect. I just had to readjust the paper size from
letter to DIN.

I will upgrade to a Brother 2030 soon (because the
1430 is going to run out of juice soon and replacing
it would have been too costly). That Model has USB as
well; if it does not work, I can post to the list if
you'd like, but I guess there will be no pain, either.
So I would go for Brother any time.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Roman
