I do not buy inkjets anymore because I now work from home and wok
demands <br>
greater throughput..<br>
<br>
Recently I decided to drop the solid ink printers that I had been
using for 5 years <br>
for a traditional colour laser printer. I got a fantastic deal in
the form of a Samsung<br>
CLP-620ND for £188. You can now now get a later model for the same
price that<br>
includes a scanner!<br>
<br>
BUT.! Although it advertises that it is Linux compliant and drivers
are provided,<br>
I could not get the additional SmartPanel program to run under
Linux, <br>
It first claimed the driver had not been installed (it had) and
later run from<br>
a terminal it seg-faulted.<br>
<br>
Luckily I run XP under VMware and print from there. I can print from
Linux but the<br>
ink usage is excessive. For emails I have to print using cups-pdf
and then <br>
print the resultant pdf from XP.<br>
<br>
It is good vale for money and its registration is first class but
.....<br>
<br>

<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I need to buy a new printer and I was wondering if there are
any suggestions with Linux drivers in mind?</p>
<p>I'm not going to be too pernikety, mainly because I think that
will limit the response. The main use will be in a home
