FWIW, I've been happy with the Minolta Magicolor 2300 DL and the driver from Rick Richardson at http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ The HP and the Minolta are in the same price range, but the Minolta has several features that place it head and shoulders above the HP (imho). The Magicolor 2300 DL includes built-in parallel and ethernet interfaces as well as an LCD control panel on the printer itself. The magicolor also has a built-in web server, read-only snmp, a telnet interface, and twice the memory of the hp 1500L. The hp 1500L, to its discredit, happens to be a host-based printer (i.e., winprinter). I have RH 8, 9, and FC1 computers all using the 2300 DL with good success. My print server defines two printers for the one device: one is strictly b&w while the other is color (helps with managing toner, etc.). Ironically, the windows driver is less capable as it can have only one instance under Windows 9x. HTH, paul
