Works with cups. Works bet= ter > when you copy two files from the samsung linux driver. We have a SAMSUNG CLP-315 here at the office. I've managed to print to it over the network from CUPS, so, yeah, it works. If you want color presentable for anything more than powerpoint, though, go with an inkjet over the SAMSUNG, or go with a higher-grade color laser from someone else. There's no ICC profiles for these printers that I can find, and the print dpi is terrible. That said, the CLP-315 supports IPP out of the box, which makes it trivial to add as a network printer from both Linux and Windows. It certainly has that going for it. You'll want to set up two different logical printers, though, one for color, one for black and white. Otherwise, the printer will engage the color toner cartridges for b/w print jobs, decrementing their life counters even if toner wasn't really necessary for them. --=20 :wq
