Re: [tlug] Becoming Windows Free: Linux Lazer Printers

There was some
discussion on this list a while ago praising the Samsung ML-1740, but
it's not being sold anymore. I think the latest version (maybe the
ML-2010) should work well and be affordable. Again, I have no personal
experience with this printer.

I have. I think that all of Samsung's personal laser printers should be offiically supported by Samsung (i.e. PPD drivers on the CD and instructions on how to install the PPDs with CUPS and lpr-ng). The Samsungs are great in the bang for your buck department.

HP also has a pretty thriving officially sanctioned Open Source driver project:

(Don't let the name fool you, hpijs supports laser printers too.)

Alternatively, as Stuart mentioned and I trimmed, any Postscript
printer will definitely work with CUPS + ghostscript + foomatic. I
assume lpr-ng can use the PPDs generated by foomatic as well, but I
have never tried.

Josh
