laser printer that is very reliable that runs well under debian.....
Dear folks, I bought a Samsung ML-2510 laser printer a while ago and drove it under Debian Etch and now Lenny. It seems to have developed a fault of some sort. The manufacturer says that I can run diagnostic software under either Linux (so it says) or MSWindows that might give me a hint as to why it is freezing up. I don't think it is a paper jam. I could mess around with this but I am very busy. So very busy that it is cheaper in time and money to simply buy a new printer to solve the problem. The printer cost me $100 or so. If I spent e.g. $1000 on a printer solely with the intent of finding one that is very reliable that Lenny will drive well and smell malfunctions and diagnose what they are really well (better still the printer itself has a display on it that gives copious details of any error on it indepedently of the operating system that is driving it that anyone could understand quickly), what printer would you recommend? I am beginning to understand why people buy printers from Xerox etc. Regards Michael Fothergill _ The John Lewis Clearance - save up to 50% with FREE delivery http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/101719806/direct/01/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I am beginning to understand why people buy printers from Xerox etc. Regards Michael Fothergill My experience with Xerox is that they are overpriced and finicky. HP is not my favorite brand, but they do have good linux support now. They get credit for having some of the very best laser printers in the early days, although I can't say anything about today. Still I would give them consideration, since the linux drivers are mostly open source and mostly free. Or at least widely available, including Debian support.
