Check http://www.linuxprinting.org for information on Linux-friendly printers (and warnings about some unfriendly ones). There is a list of suggested printers which recommends the Lexmark Optra E312 (reasonably priced, Postscript) and some Brother models. Based on this, I ordered the E312, but haven't received it yet. Lexmark has some driver software on their site (rpm only, unfortunately) but it should work with magicfilter or apsfilter as well. The Lexmark driver can be converted to .deb with alien (it puts some files in /usr/local, which is probably not a good idea, but shouldn't really hurt). Since I haven't yet received my printer, I haven't been able to test yet). -- Bob Nielsen, N7XY [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bainbridge Island, WA http://www.oz.net/~nielsen

Look for postscript compatibility. Note that I'd highly recommend a low-end laserprinter over any kind of InkJet any day of the week. -- Karsten M.
