    I don't know if anyone out there is looking for a good color laser printer,
    but my wife and I found one (finally) - a Xerox Phaser 6100.

    While its driver is not shipped with SuSE Linux 9.2, the included CD
    automatically launched a setup utility for the installation of the driver and
    a printer configuration tool. We did get a little thrown off course by the
    utility when, upon attempting to "Add Printer," we were presented with a
    login box (I was already running the utility as root). After several failed
    attempts to log in with root's password (kept getting a message saying
    "Authentication failed"), I checked the CUPS error log and realized it was
    looking for a CUPS password for root - I never even knew CUPS could have its
    own passwd file. I simply ran the 'lppasswd -a root' command, set a password,
    and it worked great!

    After having used Linux for over seven years, it's nice to see manufacturers
    _finally_ shipping hardware with installation utilities for Linux!
