Re: HP Color LaserJet 3000n with Linux (Mandrake/Mandriva, Fedora)

Is the HP Color LaserJet 3000n compatible (i.e., relatively trouble-

First, linux has nothing to do with it. It is the drivers that come with
the distribution which are maintained separately.

Some printers require drivers, some printers does not require any driver
at all.

If it is their latest and greatest printer, there probably will not be a
driver for it for a few months.

The 3000n is a rather new printer. It seems to be a good choice as it is
capable of handling PostScript input. PostScript is the standard printing
language that other cheap printers need "drivers" like gs to understand.
