I have used a HP laserjet 1100 for several years configured as a laserjet 4 with no problems under linux. I have over the last month had troubles with multiple sheet feeding at one time. I have ahd only a few problems running it under windows.

> My wife and I are beginning to think that our laserjet printer is about to die. We got it free and only really have need for b/w printouts. We have a Canon BJC-600 which does o.k. for the occassional color printout, although the ink goes quickly. We inherited this HP LaserJet Series II, which prints like 0.003 pages per minute or something. The HP is about to die, I think. It makes rattling noises and gets jammed on every page. I don't know if it's worth repairing. > > So we're thinking about getting a new laserjet. My wife is a doctoral student at the UO, so in a few months, when she really starts cranking out her dissertation, we'll probably need to start printing a lot more. > > Does anyone have any advice on a good reasonably-priced LaserJet? Inkjets seem a rip-off to me for bulk & b/w because you end up buying lots of expensive ink cartridges over time. > > Also, which ones work best with Linux? Do they work pretty much all the same, whether HP, brother, lexmark, panasonic or whatever? I hear that interfacing with printers are one of the easier parts of Linux administration. > > Are there any printer horror stories out there? :) > > thanks. > bryan > > _______________________________________________ > Eug-LUG mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
