See http://www.kyoceramita.de/index/produkte/product/fs1116mfp.technical_specification.html "Host-Based Printing System (GDI)" and http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:GDI_Printers what this means. > FS-1118MFP Acording the the Kyocera web site this one seems to support PCL and PostScript (but I don't know what the '*' means in Kyocera's specification regarding PCL and PostScript) and see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Purchasing_a_Printer_and_Compatibility what this means in contrast to the piece of crap above. If you like to print, scan, and copy via network regardles of the operating system, see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-01/msg04214.html If you are looking for a well supported all-in-one device, which works even via a local USB connection, see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/index.html and for more details what exactly is supported regarding printing, see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/tech_docs/device_classes.html For usage via network note that third-party printserver boxes usually support only simple unidirectional data transfer from the PC to the device. Therefore plain printing usually works (but even for plain printing there is no guarantee) but usually nothing else (e.g. scanning) works with non-HP printserver boxes. See the notes at: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/combined.html 1): Network support indicates built-in ethernet and/or wireless networking. Alternatively, many devices may be operated on the network using an external JetDirect print server. Not all network configurations are supported. Please refer to the HPLIP FAQs for more information. http://hplip.sourceforge.net/faqs.html Question: What network print servers are supported? Answer: Currently we have only tested HP JetDirect devices with HPLIP. No other network print servers are supported.
