Yeah....right...
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.
Well, my Epson CX3200 USB printer/scanner worked perfectly out of the box on 9.1 > 10.1. I've had no issues whatsoever. I have an HP 1380 at work (parallel) which works as well. My mom's got a HP somethingoranother printer and had an Epson RX300 before that. (It sucked up too much ink, though.)
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!!!

AFAIK, hplip only works on 10.0 or newer systems. I've not looked in awhile. It is a nice utility, tho.
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?
Dunno. By "big" do you mean an old HP LJIIIsi or a 9500hdn? -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
