Hi, My faithful old HP Laserjet 4MP has finally kicked the bucket :-(. So, I'm looking to replace it with something reasonably good, but as cheap as possible.
A number of the cheaper printers I've seen on the market seem to only have USB connectors. I know there's USB support in Linux for printers, but I imagine, like most things, only some subset of the available USB printers are usable. I'd be interested to hear any success stories, to save myself buying one that turns out not to work. In case it's important, I'll probably be connecting this to a machine running Redhat 7.2 with a 2.4.18 kernel. If it's going to make a big difference in terms of the number of compatible printers, I could potentially connect it to another machine that's running Redhat 7.3 out-of-the-box. I'd be more interested in connecting to the first machine, for two reasons: I know its USB controller works under Linux (I'm sync-ing my Clie via USB); and that machine is in the room I work most of the time. Thanks in advance, Harry O. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
