Small Laser Printers
Any one using a current small laser printer that cost's in the 100 to 200 dollar range. I've been looking at several to print Invoices on but I keep running in circles trying to figure out if they will work. If you got something in that range to work which one? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I bought a Brother HL-5250DN laser printer a couple weeks ago and it's been working extremely great. The setup was extremely simple with CUPS. I just put in the IP address of the printer (it's a network printer) and copied the PPD file from the CD. Then restarted CUPS and it's working (and tons better than my Lexmark Z52 I might add :D). PriceGrabber shows it right at $200 right now, but I got it locally for a little less with a price match. I looked into the smaller Brother models (such as the HL-2040) that are less money initially and was going to get that one on sale at Staples that week, but in the long run with toner and drums the 5250DN is a much better deal. Plus it has the networking so setup is real simple. I have to say that if you plan on using AbiWord with it, it might not work for you. There is a bug report on their bug tracker about it and when I choose the Brother printer to print to, it just prints a blank page (and shows one in Print Preview as well). Printing to the Lexmark Z52 works fine so it's not all printers, but just with some lasers I think (Bug #7852).

The printer works great as a network printer, I installed it as a PCL6 printer and use it via cups. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I bought a Brother HL-2070N two weeks ago for C$183 (about $150US). It is fast and produces good quality output, but getting it working in the first place was a bit difficult -- see http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2006-03-17-brother-hl-2070n.html for more details and the instructions which worked for me. Now that I've written down the instructions for setting it up, I have no hesitation in recommending this printer.
