1. any network printer (drawback $$$) 2. any native postscript printer (again $$)
3. Anything listed in here http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi ( much cheaper but more time consuming) One alternative is to buy a dedicated print server n < $100 Netgear makes one that includes a 4-port switch and firewall, D-link makes about 4 different models, and there's probably a bunch of off-brand manufacturers as well. (realistically that's $35.00 USD worth of electronics that should have been in the printer in the first place but Oh well) On Mon, 10 Jan 2005 21:16:26 +0000, Jeff Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, than I'll ask this question - CAN someone please recommend a > printer that I can work with, instead of a paper weight?? > > > Allen Brown wrote: > >>Jeff > > > > > > Many of the low end printers (including ones from HP) are "sleek". > > That means they have no (or little) on-board intelligence.
