Hi Russell,
I'm running a Lexmark E232 on my LAN at home and it's been a real pleasure to
install and set up. Just go to 'www.linuxprinting.org' and check the correct
emulation to use in cups/lpr/lprng etc, and it "Just Works" (tm).
My E232 cost about $380 from "Harvey Norman" (rrp $499 IIRC, but I bought a
few other bits and screwed them on a "cash" price for the lot - heheh) but
there is a cheaper model without as much RAM as the E232 for about $299
(E230?).
Have fun,
James
