Fax is of no interest, but the scanning facility is - otherwise we wouldn't be looking at multifunction printers. Buried deep in the Samsung Unified Linux driver for the CLX-6220FX I mentioned originally, there are 2 folders named CUPS and SANE, but I see no sign of a ppd file and it comes

Hello all, Does anyone have positive experience of a currently available (not legacy) Multifunction colour laser printer (duplex printing,copy, scan, fax) running under recent OpenSolaris or OpenIndiana ? I have located 2 possible models: Samsung CLX-6220FX Manufacturer

OSol, including Oracle Solaris 11 Express, and OI-147 all have the CUPS printing system, so all you need is the ppd file for the printer you choose. I haven't checked OI-148, but suspect it keeps CUPS. I did check OI-147 on VirtualBox with the LiveCD install. The Brother DCP-9055CDN is not

Thanks very much for the info. The Samsung Unified driver for Linux package has buried deep in it two folders named CUPS and SANE, so fingers crossed it might work with OI148 (it does indeed have CUPS management via localhost:631). On the other hand looking at those folders there's no

Thanks for the advice - I'll keep looking. The Lexmark's look attractive (Model 544DN and relatives) but the spec details show Sparc 8,9,10 and X86-Solaris 10, but no sign of Solaris 11. Cheers Guy On 02/15/11 02:06 PM, Ken Gunderson wrote: On Tue, 2011-02-15 at 09:24 +, Guy Woolley
