At home, I'm using an HP LaserJet 1320 over USB on FreeBSD with CUPS. I understand that the networked version would be even easier to install and use, but the 1320 was what I got, and it's okay for light non-commercial use. Of course, with native Postscript support (I've upgraded the RAM on the unit so that it prints very complex graphics faster, but that's not strictly necessary). BTW, I fully agree with Polytropon: those old HP LaserJet 4000s are absolutely GREAT, even if used. It's a shame that they don't make 'em anymore: they were simply too good and didn't comply with the current standard of crappiness, cheap plastics and badly engineered trays etc... so obviously, they had to go. :-( -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
