Are there any particular ones I should stay away from? Mandrake 9.1 Thanks, Charlie: I've got an old Brother HL1040 and it has worked well for me. They are obsolete now; its successors were the HL1240 and now the HL1440. Take a look at www.linuxprinting.org -- they have a list of winners and losers that could be useful to you. Warning one: Since these are used printers, expect to replace the toner and perhaps the drum. Toner cartridges for this machine run about $35, but the drum units are brutal. Check Staples (or similar) for the cost of replacements. Warning two: One of the selling points for my printer is that the paper path is pretty much a straight line. Printers that make the paper go around some tight bends are much more apt to jam, and that is not a good thing. The one drawback with my printer is that it doesn't do postscript; not a big deal, but it would make setup easier if it did. -- cmg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
