I'm also looking for a laser printer. My current "favourite" is the Xerox 3117, but I haven't bought it yet. It's under 300 shekels on ZAP and gets great reccomendations. As I understand, it works in Linux (although it seems CUPS recognizes it as a Samsung ml-1210). Here's a link:
www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Xerox-Phaser_3117 And here are a couple of links about using it in Ubuntu and Debian. I run Mandriva, but that shouldn't matter. loliboli.hu/node/8 forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-561293.html As far as ink is concerned, they claim it has a 1000 page "first" cartridge and full ones are good for 3500 pages. I found refilled ink for 130 shekels so that seems to be a good deal (original ink is about 300 shekels). Can anyone confirm or refute the above - preferably before I buy :-) On Wednesday 24 October 2007 01:37, Hetz Ben Hamo wrote: > Meir, > > You might want to check which cartidge do you get with the printer > (make sure it's not some sort of "economic" cartridge which means it > is less then half full), and you should also check how much a > replacement cartidge costs.. > > You really don't want to buy a 350NIS laser printer, only to be forced > to pay 500 for the cartridge later.. > > Thanks, > Hetz > > On 24/10/2007, Meir Michanie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Office depot is selling a laser printer samsung 1610 (350 shekel after > > refund) > > It is a truly plug and play with ubuntu and cups.
