I have an Epson Photo 750 and for the most part it works well in Linux except 
for when I try to print from Kmail. It is always coming up with the last few 
line of the page and the first few lines missing. Does anyone have an idea 
why this is happening?

Dear Lanman and friends:

I HIGHLY recommend Okidata's Okipage 10e LASER PRINTER. I got it from
http://www.buy.com for nearly half price ($260 instead of $400).
Brand-new. Toners are also only half-price, around $16 (sixteen
dollars!) and last 2,000 pages (that's two thousand except the first
toner which comes free with the printer, which lasts only 1,000 pages).
Prints black on whitel ONLY. If you don't need color, I (let me repeat)
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this printer for its quality, reliability, etc.
And, it is supported out of the box by LM72. Don't waste your money on
deskjet printers when you can get a laserprinter that's superior and
only a few dollars more. Actually, when you consider the toner, it's
much cheaper. And you can use both standard xerox paper and laser
quality paper.

This GREAT printer was recommended to me by one of our gurus, Ramon
Gandia, and that recommendation speaks for itself. I have had my Okipage
for nearly two years now. Flawless!

Benjamin

P. S. Forgot to mention the 24/7 technical support!

I had absolutely no problems with the HP930c Deskjet, if that helps.
Hooked it up, ran the Printer utility, and Bingo! Done.

I had to replace my Lexmark Z11 because it wouldn't work in Mandrake even 
with the cooker drivers.  So I got a Canon S450.  It works but the formatting 
gets lost.  Tired of messing with it.

So what printers can you guys recommend that is easily compatable and that 
prints the way it should?

TIA,

Hello Benjamin,
If you really have absolutely no need to ever print in color, AND want a
quiet printer, why not consider an inexpensive Laser printer.  HP has a couple
that can be had inexpensively.  They're usually quiet, fast, and in the long
run LESS expensive because you get much more use from the cartridges. (at
least that's been my experience).  They usually work well as postscript
printers too.  Why not check prices at CNET or some place like that, and, of
course, check the linux compatability sites before plunking down your cash.
Just my $.02
Good Luck,
Mike

Dear friends:

I think my Epson Stylus Color 600 is on its last leg. 

Could you recommend an affordable printer for my system?
I'd prefer a Canon, i.e. a printer as quiet as a Canon. The Epson makes
a lot of noise. Another thing: I print only in BLACK. No need for color.

Thanks so very much.
