Re: Printer recommendation please

Do you need it to be a laser printer? The Lexmark Pro915 is an inkjet all-on-one that speaks Postscript. I print over wireless network via cups. When I need to scan, I scan to a usb thumb drive. It will store scanned images as jpeg or pdf. Regards, Andrew On Mar 30, 2012 12:24 PM, "Karel Mikl

Printer recommendation please

Could you please recommend me a home printer that works nicely with FreeBSD? HP inkjets aren't that bad, FreeBSD drivers are allright, but I'd like to shift towards some kind of PostScript laser. Xerox Phaser 6500 looks nice, but I can not economically justify my appetite. Is there a cheaper a

printer recommendation

Could anyone recommend a good desktop laser jet printer that is known to work under FreeBSD. I don't mind if it's an older model. I'd like to go cheap with it. I will be printing black and white planning sheets, and portions of books. Is there a list of printers that are useable under FreeBSD
