To ALL: I need to know what printers actually work with Linux, Suse 9.0, in particular. The printer compatibility listing does not seem to cover any, at least that is what it said the last time I checked, today!!! I have a Canon BJC-2100 but already know that Canon will not supply any driver and that, having had my Linux SIG Leader, who deals with SuSe all the time, try to make it work to no avail. However, his suggestion for a printer meets with a deadend with stores around here, (Tacoma, Washington)! I need to know which Epson or HP will actually work, right out of the box. I went and looked a severa models of both, and none say anything about any compatibility except with Windows and MAC! So, now what do I do? :-\
Have a look at http://LinuxPrinting.org for help. The general rule appears that any printer which is postscript compatible will run under linux without any additional drivers. LW999
