*shameless plug* Postscript Laser printers aren't cheap.
Xerox Phaser 3400 -16ppm ~$1350 or networked ~$1780 Great little laser printer, Parallel, USB, (optional network controller) Support and Installations for RedHat distro. Use ppd and cups for Mandrake I did the testing for this product here in Australia on (Mandrake) Linux, so can recommend it. USB printing was not a problem with Mandrake. 3 year like for like return to dept warranty, or on-site for $200 Check out http://www.fujixerox.com.au for more specs. *grin* Chris On Thu, 4 Apr 2002 14:10:28 +1000 "Scott Ragen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The printer shouldn't be the bottleneck.
