Our Lexmark printer has died an early death. The drivers were slow and fragile, so I will not be replacing it with another Lexmark. Recommendations or sites with Linux compatibility info wanted. We need one that does photocopies and printing. No landline so fax is useless. Scanner might be nice, but Linux support has been so sparse for the scanner in All-in-One, we don't bother. It needs to be a network (Ethernet or WiFi) printer.
TIA, Jeffrey I have an Epson WP-4530, which is an all-in-one, including FAX. It has USB and Ethernet ports, and of course a phone line input. It is supposed to work wirelessly also, but I don't have that set up. It can do copies and it can also do scanning, from XSane or from LO or OO or GIMP. In addition to scanning from the computer, it will make nice copies from the flat-bed, and it will handle some number of sheets, laid in from a feeder on top. It seems to be fairly frugal with inks (CMYK) and the inks don't smear much. What's more it's

I I have been using the machine regularly and it very rarely misfeeds paper and has never actually jammed. I think the color quality is excellent. (Unlike professional copy machines, it will even copy money! I just had to see what would happen!) I bought this about a year ago, more or less, for just under $200, from an Internet source. I think this model has been superseded, but there is surely one that follows it. Make sure it has the Ethernet connection--now that wireless is a buzz-word, it's possible that some devices don't have the wired connection any more. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
