However the total cost of ownership will not be zero. Kyocera FS1900. Usually prints with the grey smears indicative of the worn drum which needs to be replaced, cost is around $600 +GST. Aside from that it functions perfectly and been properly maintained. Has second paper tray, duplex unit, USB/parallel/network connections, I have the driver/utility disks - the manuals are hiding from me right now but are somewhere. Originally cost us around $2,000 with all the extras, is no low end printer. We got 75,000 pages out of it (then got a big photocopier/printer/scanner/coffeemaker thing) so drum cost adds just under a cent a sheet.
Looks like this (imagine the extra paper tray and duplex unit which sit underneath making it taller by about another 50%): http://www.amatteroffax.com/itempagey_INVID_706738_d_FS-1900.htm http://ca.kyoceramita.com/KMCAGlobalpub/jsp/Kyocera/products_printers_details.jsp?pid=5043 Will give it to a community group or under resourced organisation, if you support one who may be interested please contact me off list with a sentence or 2 about them. Sorry, I can tell you zero about linux compatability. Cheers, Roger
