Yeah, that's why I bought one for my house. I got tired of fooling with trying to make my old Canon printer work **well**. Found someone who had a bunch of new Lexmark Optra40 printers (long discontinued) for $139, bought one and haven't looked back! No way can I afford a HP Laserjet. While the Lexmark's PS engine is a bit slow, it works great. -- ---- Fred Smith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------- The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. ----------------------------- Proverbs 15:3 (niv) ----------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
