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.
Note I only have color lasers at work, and you don't want to pay that much. At home, I have an inexpensive LJ 1018, few problems at all. CUPS (once you plug in the printer, use browser, go to localhost:631, and printers, add printer).
