This site provides good information on printers for Linux. http://www.linuxprinting.org/suggested.html Also if you know a printer model you can find out how well it is supported in Linux. http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi It should be noted that new models may not appear in the above list. It may be also productive to look at the forums on this site. http://www.linuxprinting.org/forums.cgi -- Regards, Graham Smith -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
