Damn, that's a good price... I have a LaserJet 2600N (Network connected), which works like a charm. It needed a custom config file from the net somewhere, but it's a cracker apart from that (Except the envelope feed. You have to remove the paper to feed an envelope else you get a piece of paper infront of the envelope & the printing goes on the paper instead. I also have a PSC1210. All-in-one job. I've had one problem with that under an older kernel that wouldn't create the device nodes properly (Umm... Fro memory the nodes were there, but you couldn't write to them). H
