Xerox supplies a PPD that you put in CUPS (Directions are included and easy.) I'm on SUSE 10.2 and have had no printer problems except from ISCAN which doesn't scale correctly. All other applications I use work directly out of the box. LPR also works with it.
HP also makes a 4 co;or laser in this price range but ink cartridges are more expensive than the Xerox ones. I've had mine since Nov. 2006. -- Russ Linux register user 441463 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
