Has anyone had experience with any of the following HP Laser Jet
printers under SuSE 9.3 or 10.0?

1160
1320

Your feedback is appreciated.
Thx. :)

Apparently it is wise to check HP's products carefully.
I bought an HP 1020, and found that it is basically incompatible
with Linux--it's a "win-printer" like a "win-modem" which
uses the OS and an associated driver, built for the OS,
to make it work. I don't know anything about the printers
you ask about. The older HP products, like the LaserJet
2200D, which I own, work perfectly.

Thanks for this valuable caution. "Win-printer"? Ugh. :o((
