Yea, I had a 4200 that quit after about a year and a half.. My dad's
malfunctioned also.

I bought a HP 895 Cse that outperforms the Canons both speed and
quality.

I would buy an HP..  I'm using the HP 550c linux driver. Works nice.

I've been wanting to get the BJC-6000 or BJC-6100 to replace my current
BJC-4100.  Will my BJC-4100 drivers work as well ?  How *well* does the
BJC-6000 actually work (ie: fully compliant) ?  I had looked at the
http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi
printer list website and it says BJC-6000 is only *partially* supported.
The BJC-5000 is paperweight and the BJC-4000/4100 are fully supported.

So is it worth buying the BJC-6000/6100 ?
Any other experiences out there ?

Thanks... Dan.

I use a HP Deskjet 812C with no problems. It cost me $100 and does a pretty
good job printing color/black and white graphics and text.

I'd also like to say that my BJC-6000 works fine with the
4000 driver.

Volker,
the BJC-2000 and 3000 work fine with Linux.  It provides driver for the 4000
and 600, which are the same engines used for the above two printers.  I
installed a 2000 with no problems and someone else here has installed a 3000
without any hassles.  I cannot get mine to print ASCI though, which isn't a big
thing for me, but is a consideration if you use ASCI for anything.  Mine works
like a charm printing graphics and text without a hitch.  I could personally
recommend the 2000 though for a little more money, I am told the 3000 is a good
buy.

[expert] Printer recommendation

2000-03-27 Thread vschlecht


Hi,

I would like to know if any of you can recommend me a printer (lower price
category, quality and speed suitable for home-use) that works alright with
Mandrake 7.0 ? 

I've had problems with my Epson Stylus Color 300 ever since I began to
use Linux, and I don't want to make a similar mistake again and/or have to
scan the net for the umpteenth hack of what might be a working driver ...

Thank you for your assistance.

cya,
Volker
