Well I've grown quite attached to my low-cost laser, an HP LaserJet 1022. 19ppm black on A4, 20ppm on letter, 1200x600 or 600x600dpi. They could have been a bit more generous than the 8MB of ram they gave this model, but it doesn't present a problem in anything but extreme images (which you wouldn't be printing on a B&W laser printer of this price anyway). No problems connecting via USB (HP even include a USB cable, not a common thing nowadays), for a small amount more money the 1022n comes with inbuilt ethernet. Mine is attached to an external JetDirect which seems to work fine as well.
More info from linuxprinting.org: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1022 I recommend the 1022 over the slightly cheaper 1020 (suggested by another user) due to not requiring boot-time firmware loading, one less thing to worry about. By the looks you should be able to make one yours for under USD$200. --Thomas On Thursday 25 January 2007 4:33 am, Carl Adams wrote: > I've had no success getting my HP PSC 1610 Inkjet/Scanner connected to > CUPS under Gentoo.
