Hi List,
I'd really appreciate some recommendations for colour laser printers for use with CentOS. It's for light home use with CentOS 5 and CentOS 6 systems.
Must have:
- Colour. Quality not that important as mainly for kids school project
type of stuff. 2. Ethernet connectivity - want something I can plug into the network 3. Cheap running costs - don't want to be spending a fortune on toner 4. Linux support
I have very little experience with printing on Linux. I'm assuming I want a laser with Postscript and/or PCL emulation, and Linux driver support (still not sure exactly what I should be looking for here).
Top of my very short list at present is:
Brother HL-4140CN at £167

I'd appreciate any other recommendations people might have.
Close to two years ago I picked up a HP Laserjet CP1525nw for around $150 US when it was on sale. Ethernet and wireless connectivity. I don't know of any toner cartridges that are cheap, but then again I don't print all that much (and when I do it's mostly black and white).
The last time I set up printing on a Linux machine I used the generic HP PCL6 driver (whereas before I chose a LJ15xx driver).
At work we have a hodge podge of HP [older] Laserjets, Ricoh, and Xerox.
Thanks!
