That's surprising. I thought that since they were written by HP,
they'd be the same on both platforms.

In my previous email, I used the Optra E312L printer as an example. For
Linux use, you probably want the Optra E312, not the E312L; the 'L'
version is PCL-only but the E312 supports postscript.
The E312 is $380 at buy.com:

Okay, here's my two cents on this topic.
Some printer are easier to get working under Linux than others.
PostScript printers should be very easy to get working, as the
Linux/UNIX world pretty much has standardized on PostScript. If you get

And my LJ2100M can print 1200dpi text at 10ppm. I'm sure mine cost
more, but it's a tradeoff. We need text. Lots of text, high-quality
text. We don't need color. So we chose a pr

That depends on whether you want color or not.

No,
not any PC-compatible printer will do. There are some so called

there are some reports that some of these work with Linux. Lexm
If you get postscript compatible printer, life is much easy on Linux.
Otherwise, RTFM or use some printer configuration progran to set up
ghostscript filtering for your printer.

I believe the PS L2 option for the Epson 800 is a software option that is
