Thanks Nick but that is a Thermal Ink Jet right? As such, the per copy cost would be around 20c AFAIK. I am looking for a laser based model with PC costs around the 1.5c mark.

Cheers

HP are probably your best bet, because they co-operate with linux driver writers and support projects like http://hpoj.sf.net and http://hpinkjet.sf.net

My HP PSC 2210 works well as a printer, scanner and media reader (cf and other cards that i don't have so can't try) under linux.

I haven't tried the faxing options, but it can't send a fax under computer control even in windows (even if you can get the drivers to work). I guess it will work as a regular fax machine (but has no sheet feeder).

Weird thing is i could not get the goddamn drivers supplied with it to work under windows 2000. Its so long since I tried I cannnot remember what the problem looked like, but it was all so brain dead and automated that there didn't seem any way to fix it. The best conclusion I came to was a motherboard/usb chipset problem, but it works under linux, so your guess is as good as mine.

Hi All,

Anyone gotten this printer to play nice with mandrake/Linux (any Laser
MFP's for that matter)? If so, how?? Their product PDF shows a Penguin
but I could find NO info re using it with Linux anywhere (Google or
otherwise). And, there is no driver that I could see in MCC for it.

Product URL's (Lexmark X215 MFP):
