Dear everyone,
I'm looking for a duplexing colour laser printer that I can put onto our
small home network, either wired or wireless. If possible I'd prefer
something where the toner cartridges aren't extortionatelly priced, but that
might be too much to ask.
I've been looking at something like the Epson Aculaser C1100N. I've looked
at /www.linuxprinting.org/ and checked the general level of linux
compatibility and Epson look like a good bet. I'd appreciate hearing
peoples' experiences with linux and colour laser printers. Any
recommendations? Anything to avoid?
Thank you for any advice.

I have been running a Samsung CLP 550N laser printer for about 12 months and
have not any problems. Easy to configure using their drivers which interface
to CUPS. The only thing is the toner cartridges are not cheap but then no
colour laser toner cartridges are cheap. Think 4 times the cost of a
monochrome laser printer.
The built in duplexing is a great and could not do without it.

The general level does not prove that the particular model
will work.
If you pay for a color laser printer, think about a real
PostScript printer, see
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2000/08/jsmeix_print-kompatibel.html
In particular for a color laser printers there are not much
non-PostScript drivers which result really high quality
(perhaps except pxlcolor) because the non-PostScript drivers
for laser printers are often limited up to 300 or 600 dpi.

I don't know such a page but try in Google
jsmeix portal sdb en html -lists -ftp site:suse.com
or
"Feedback welcome: Send Mail to jsmeix(a)suse.de"
and you should get most of my sdb articles.

Dear all,
Back in january I was asking for advice on colour laser printers. I just
wanted to thank every one for their help and say that I now have a Xerox
Phaser 6120. It's not networked yet, just directly attached to a PC running
Suse 10. I've been very happy with the printer - it seems to be entirely
reliable.
Many thanks,
