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 used to buy exclusively HP printers but this is not true any more. The quality is not as good as it used to be.
What we have at work that I really like are http://www.amazon.com/HP-CP3525N-Color-LaserJet-Printer/dp/B001FWG8DU
They seem to have been superseded, but run $500 or so on Amazon. Note: I DON'T buy OEM toner. Here in the US, I'm buying - both for work, and I just bought for home - from tonerprice.com. They compatible toner works just fine, at a fraction the price. For example, my little 1018 b/w, it was $80 for OEM cartridge; the compatible, including shipping, was < $35 or so.
