Thanks to all for giving your suggestions/recommendations regarding dot matrix printers (DMPs). Mahesh Pai (ILUG-Delhi mailing list) convinced me to go with a laser printer. I ended up ordering a Samsung ML 6140 - Linux drivers provided on CD. "install.sh" took care of the driver installation (Ubuntu 9.10 desktop) and it was in operation within a few minutes of installation. In the DMP research process I found: 1. DMPs can cost more than their laser counterparts. 2. Most DMPs are designed for continuous feed paper (with multi-copies carbon/impact). 3. Some DMPs handle multiple cut sheet paper with special feeders; I enquired with vendor Tech Support about dealers/ who carry the feeders without any success. Default is one sheet at a time. 4. Amongst the brands I researched for Linux driver support - Wipro DMP models clearly stated driver support for Linux.
