I don't mean to piggyback on this thread, but it seems easiest, and is
not really OT.
Having had problems with printers in 9.3, which I intend to stay with
until probably at least 6 months from now, I would like a recommendation for
a low-cost laser that will absolutely work with this OS out of the box. I can
use USB or parallel, whichever is more reliable. I am getting more and more
frustrated with M/S and XP/SP2, and since I lost almost everything in a
disk crash, now is the time to look more seriously at Linux, but I _must_
have working printing!!!
(If I could install and get hplip to work, I might be able to use my big HP
Laser, that used to work with 10.0, but I've had no luck doing that. Any
help would be appreciated. Do I have to download a different copy that
isn't on the floppies from someplace, and if so, where? And how?
