Discussed here at length fairly recently. My recommendation: don't get anywhere close to an inkjet. Laserjets are far more reliable, vastly less expensive to operate, generally much faster, are supported under GNU/Linux (particularly Postscript printers), and provide what most people are looking for: transferring bits to paper quickly with minimal fuss. Primary downsides are power draw, size, and a modestly higher purchase price. My HPLJ 4 sits under my desk, is off most of the time, powers up on less then a minute, and cranks pages far better than my DeskJet ever did. Used you can find these puppies for under US$400. Older HP models are even less expensive (I'd been *given* an HPLJ-III), but are larger and draw much more current. > Cheers > > Tim > CAUTION > > This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are privileged and > confidential information intended for the use of the addressee.
