Thanks everyone for the advice. I had never thought of buying a used "industrial strength" laser printer. When I need a printer, I'll look into that. This particular printer was for a family member, so I wanted to stay with something new. I bought a Brother HL-2240D for $85 at a local shop. Pretty good deal, I think. Wheezy's Gnome printer config didn't work -- the window just disappeared at some point in the printer setup. I tried multiple times and got the same result. I successfully configured the printer using the cups web interface at http://localhost:631 The printer wasn't listed in the choices, but based on a suggestion on this site: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1627516.html I used Generic > PCL 5e Printer > Generic PCL 5e Printer Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e [en] for my driver. It seems to be working fine. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
