Re: [OCLUG-Tech] [Fwd: Re]Linux driver?]

Hello,

I've been using a HP PSC printer for a few years and it's been working fine. Though I did need to download hplip to get the drivers to work properly on my Fedora machine. On Ubuntu I had no issues whatsoever.

I know some people who use a HP laser printer and it works fine under Ubuntu as well.

So from my experience it seems that HP's are a pretty safe purchase.

Thought Linuxers may want to let out a "boo" for Samsung.

When we got the SCX 4521F Multifunction printer/fax/scanner there was a
Linux driver on CD. Didn't work. But one off the Samsung site did (thanks to
Dmitri and Nataliya Korovkin's help). But now the Samsung site has not Linux
files.


Would this be a good time to ask the list for recommendations for a
Linux-friendly printer?  I need a colour one for home use - and I'd
prefer to be able to get white-label cartridge refill/replacements
rather than pay the insane cost of the official ones.

I've found it to be a time-consuming effort to search such
characteristics in google and the mrs is getting impatient.

Cheers.
