I think ink is better for photos. That's all we want to print, but I don't think that's possible directly from a linux laptop unless you can compile programs:(
I print photos just fine from my Linux laptop on my laserjet, in colour, at the maximum resolution of my printer. I don't use special paper. I can print many of them without noticing the toner expenditure, and I print big.
I watched a friend of mine trying to print just two photos on special paper, with an ink printer, from Windows. He wasted half a dozen or more of those expensive sheets, while changing adjustements, getting weird colours and low resolution. In the end, we realized that the photo files were in fact low resolution. But they looked just fine on the phone...

In a slightly earlier post to this thread, someone said that a Xerox color laser printer was low cost. So I looked: yes, there are one or two models under or in the vicinity of $200, but _not_ any that can do duplex! Unless you don't care how much paper you waste, you really need duplex for keeping useful information for your own use at home. In business, the extra cost is just a business expense-tax deductible even--but an extra $200 my not be justifiable for the home user. I actually own three printers--one real old and slow, and an old but quite adequate HP LaserJet and a fairly recent Epson All-in-One inker. All would do duplex, altho the real old one has forgotten how. But that's for emergency use only. The Epson does really good color--I don't know if any low or even medium cost duplex-capable laser can be expected to do that. (Altho if I have to replace it, I'll find out!)

The one Greg recommended: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Axerox%20phaser%20printer Does have duplex for another 99 bucks. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
