Although it's not a colour printer, I'm very happy with my Samsung ML-2851ND. It works beautifully in Ubuntu, OS X and Windows. To set it up in Ubuntu I pretty much just hit "next, next, next" in the add printer wizard. It's a network printer, which makes it very convenient for use with multiple computers (no need to set up printer sharing) and supports duplex printing. - Clayton On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 12:56 PM, <chris [ at ] christophersaunders [ dot ] ca> wrote: > Hello, > > I've been using a HP PSC printer for a few years and it's been working > fine.
