I concur - HP Jetdirects are brilliant. Even old ones work wonderfully, and many of the new ones are coming cheaper all the time. $1250 buys a loverly 24 ppm mono laserjet with a 10/100 network card, and they work fine with linux. We've even got a photocopier with a network interface, which works marvellously too. -- C. Falconer
