When I received it, I connected it via USB (to my then Centos 4 box) and up comes a dialog offering to configure the printer. ran thru it and voila. I noticed a few months ago that places such as (but not limited to) Amazon had some Brother color laser printers for reasonable prices (under $300 US). here are a couple of examples from today: http://www.amazon.com/Brother-HL-3040CN-Compact-Digital-Networking/dp/B002ONCBXU/ref=sr_1_19?s=pcie=UTF8qid=1286283594sr=1-19 and http://www.amazon.com/Brother-HL-3070CW-Compact-Wireless-Networking/dp/B002ONCDH4/ref=sr_1_15?s=pcie=UTF8qid=1286283594sr=1-15 as to whether or how well these work with Linux, I cannot say. Brother does, however, have Linux support (and drivers, should you need 'em) for many of their devices, so you could check their web page for any specific models of interest.

Re: [CentOS] Colour laser printer
Dunno what your needs are but I just baught a Samsung CLP-310 which works like a charm with a headless Debian Squeeze box and shared with CUPS, so it should work well with CentOS. You'll have to use the Samsung driver instead of splix, doesn't goes well with that model. 2010/10/5 Stephen Harris li...@spuddy.org On Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 09:03:55AM -0400, fred smith wrote: I have no experience with color printers from Brother, but I'm extremely happy with my monochrome Brother laser printer.
