All,
I'm looking to replace my current printer - a Dell 1700n - because I
can't make it work with FreeBSD/Linux.
To replace it, I'd like to get a duplex printer, as I really hate to
waste paper. Does anyone have good experience with one that isn't
terribly expensive (expensive to me means more than US$500) and that
works with with FreeBSD? Even better if it has Ethernet.
I'm only finding (on ostg.pricegrabber.com) the Lexmark Optra T622DN
and T522DN, but don't know much about them.
Anyone care to share?

My 2 cents is I'd looks for a printer with a built-in network interface and
that has postscript and pcl emulations. In addition look at the
replacement toner cost and figure out the cost of ownership across 3-5 years.
I would look at lexmark, and samsung. Lexmark have higher duty cycles
(pages per month) and take larger toner cartidges. The samsung's make nice
work group low duty cycle printers.
