    I have an HP Color Laserjet 2600N. In a lot of ways it's a great
    printer--color, laser, cheap (~$400US), built-in networking. But, as
    far as I can tell, it's not at all linux-compatible (unlike other
    HP's).

    If I try to print directly to it from FC3, I can't. Even when I try to
    set up a local Windows computer as a server, the job gets sent to the
    printer, but they just die. The printer doesn't even act like it
    received anything--no errors, etc. I'm using a driver for the 2550
    version of that printer (same results for both PS and HPIJS drivers),
    since I can't find anything specifically for the 2600. Usually that
    trick works with HP printers.

    Any ideas how I can get it working? If not, can anyone recommend a
    printer that is:

    Color laser
    cheap
    networked
    linux-compatible

    outside of that, quality and reliability are more important than speed.

    Thanks,
    Matt
