Hello, I am trying to find a laser printer that will work without *any* problem on Suse, and speaks Postscript, or rather can be spoken to directly in postscript :) Speed is not that important, cheapness is. I thought I had just found a reasonable priced HP Model, but .. alas .. it is a frigging windows printer (this is even hitting the laser world now).
Cheap, reliable, preferably does not pollute my space with Ozone too much..
Any suggestions .. since I don't live in the US, dollar prices are not much use, but that can be relatavised, I mean if model a is cheaper than model b there,it probably is here.
The only printer that I have a bad feeling about are anything made by Lexmark, but that was due to a traumatic event some years ago. I could probably be talked out of it :)
Thanks for any advice.

I am using a Lexmark Optra E312 which comes with postscript in the printer. (not the E312L which is a windows printer) The E312 is a laser printer available that I purchased about a year or so ago, do not know if it is still available. Using it as a postscript printer works fine in SuSE. Lexmark does make Linux drivers for this printer, but it works as Postscript so I did not install the other drivers. In Canadian $ I paid about $450 (~ US$290) and the replacement cartridges for 6000 pages cost about C$190 (~ US$120). Overall, works well here. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford@telusplanet.net - should you trust your government? DH/DSS Key - 0x7A1BEA01
