I'm researching about what printer to buy for home/personal use and I
have checked:
- HPLaserJet 1020
- Cannon LBP1120
This two devices are laser and very affordable, but I would like to
make sure that they work for my Mandriva box so I have checked their
compatibility showed at:
- http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1020
- http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-LBP-1120
respectively. Since I have never been able to compile any driver yet
(xtremely newbie or xtremely dump) I would like to have some feedback
about is friendly to install, use, etc.
Feedback is greatly appreciated it.
Hi Ricardo
I think you can safely assume that the HP 1020 will work fine but be
careful of the Canon. Canon is notoriously bad when it comes to
supporting Linux.
If I were you I would get the HP. It will most likely work with the
generic Laserjet drivers as well as those for the 1100, 1200, etc. In my
experience, with HP Lasers the model doesn't really matter - you will
find a driver that works.
Good Luck
Duncan
