I am looking for users' experience with printers under OpenSuSE.
My Lexmark Optra E310 gave up the ghost, and I am looking for a replacement. I need it for small jobs (10 pages or fewer) but with reasonable speed. If possible, a color option would be useful.
If you have advice as to what to get, I would appreciate hearing from you.

They are reporting low now so they will need to be changed soon. I run OpenSuse 10.2 and use the PPD downloaded from Xerox. If my 10.3 DVD ever gets here I'll see if it still works, it should. I also use CUPs and lpr for printing. I normals use 84 or 108 brightness paper (Office Depot brand) but also have a ream of Xerox Glossy for special jobs. I figured one Xerox toner cartridge (There are four) last about as long as 7 of the Epson (CX 6600) cartridges (there were four also) I used to use, so the real cost is almost a wash. I bought mine from CDW for $299. on sale. They also now have a color stick printer in this line but it is more costly. Hope this helps. -- Russ Linux register user 441463 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
