I've not taken the time to research lasers as I will before I > actually buy, yet. I haven't been following the conversation, but will butt in anyway. Wouldn't the main criterion for lasers (including color) be the PostScript support? I'm using a monochrome Kyocera which I set to accept only PostScript--so it is Windows that needs the special driver. Kyocera is very cheap to operate. Actually, now that I think of it, you want to make sure there is a PPD file available for the printer, preferably downloadable before you decide to buy. But that's all you need to tell programs like cups how to change printer settings. --=20 Barry.SCHWARTZ at chemoelectric.org http://chemoelectric.org Free stuff / Senpagaj varoj: http://crudfactory.com (PDF) 'Democracies don't war; democracies are peaceful countries.' - Bush (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/12/20051219-2.html) --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFMWXvBNGXDWV0vIMRAk1mAJ9ekcE1v3dc8FB1kRMx0nNQK4QKwwCff2Ej QHctF1yIDBSpkP6vO9lRxwE= =BEqu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s-- -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
