Hello dear list users,
it's been a while (6 years) since I last owned a printer but now the
time has come where it looks needed at home.
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.
Talking about b/w laser printer. As it's for personal use the highest
page number per minute is not essential, and 4MB memory would probably
be overkill.
Important to me is 1.) usb connectivity these days and/or 2.) ethernet
to connect to my router (D-link DI-604) for better accessibility from
all machines over the network.
Ethernet connectivity would be nice and I could forgo usb then. (No wifi
in this house for at least another two years.)
Machines here are all using 2.6.xx kernels, the power specc'ed one
Debian Etch, an old Duron one Ubuntu 5.10 (which will probably be
changed to Etch as well later in the year) and usually one other distro
to play around /test.
Thank you for your suggestions. Hope this is not OT.
With the LaserJet 1100 getting old in the tooth, and the kids
entering 2nd Grade, we decided a color printer would be best. But,
of course, ink jets are expensive to operate and the ink runs out at
inopportune moments. So I got a Dell 3100cn on sale for $350.
Color laser with PostScript3. Network and USB capable. Works fine
with CUPS, but you've got to tell it that the 3100cn is a Lexmark.
(Google will tell you which model number.)
The only problem is that it's *huge*, 21"x17"x17" hwd.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
