I have had, since before I started using Linux one of these damned
WinPrinters, the HP Deskjet C820. Someone actually hacked together a
driver for this beast that worked, somewhat. No color and occasionally
it would screw up but you could get printing.
Since I installed RedHat 6.1 this driver no longer works. I tried
recompiling it, to no avail. It just refuses to print.
So I am ready to junk this thing and get a real printer. Problem is,
RedHat takes a very conservative approach to saying what printers are
compatible with it. Virtually all of the printers on this list
http://www.redhat.com/support/hardware/intel/61/rh6.1-hcl-i.ld-15.html
are old models, no longer sold or are generic model names that could
include many printers (or not). They say that PostScript-compatible
printers will work but either there are very few PostScript printers
made anymore or the vendors don't even bother listing whether the
printers they sell have this capability.
Can someone point me at a more complete list of compatible printers or
information on how to tell if a printer is compatible?
