I'm having to replace my 5-year old desktop printer. Like any good project, I start with requirements! 1. desktop printer. 2. the manufacturer provides real support for the printer running on Fedora as well as windows-7. 3. has printing, scanning, and copying. 4. color and black-and-white, colors are correct when printing from Fedora as well as when from windows-7. 5. at least 600 dpi. 6. USB cable connection (not ethernet or wi-fi) between printer and workstation's tower. 7. either laser or LED, not ink-jet (I'm in a very low-humidity climate). I am especially concerned with requirement #1, and that's why I'm asking this list. What fulfils all the above requirements?
Support needs to be more than simply providing a driver for me to download. The at least 600 DPI has to be real, not merely "effective", "simulated", etc. My now dead printer, a Xerox Workcentre 6015, claimed either 1200x1200 or 1200x2400 resolution, but I only got 600 real dots per inch, both in windows-7 and in Fedora. When printing from Fedora, colors were not even close, but were ok when printing from windows-7. Which is better overall: laser or LED? Thank-you for your advice. Bill. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
