Bonjour,
I need a printer and I found two laser printers available where I am
living now:
Brother HL-2032
Samsung ML-1630/SEE
I cannot testify about the samsung, but Brother has what I would call
excellent linux support, but you will need to get the correct set of ppd
files from their web page. If this printer isn't there, there is an email
link to their support on the web page, and my query regarding an HL-2140 I
had just bought was answered quickly, competently and courteously, pointing
me at the correct file to download. Self extracting, it installed itself in
the proper location to be found by a restart of the cupsd daemon. Then it
was a simple matter of adding another printer profile at
http://localhost:631.
HTH.
I have just this week set up a Samsung on Fedora 9 with little problem.
It wasn't the ML-1630 but it was a CLP-610ND, and for CUPS to play with
it, I just needed to grab the ppd and rastertosamsungsplc to the
appropriate directories on my system and everything worked wonderfully.
Now getting it to work right in Samba... well that was a different story
(I don't know Samba well, so it was interesting to get it to play well
with my systems that don't speak CUPS natively.) but support is pretty
good on that. Using Samsung, the 'install' program they provide can
really hose a linux system though. (NewEgg review was the source of this
knowledge, and I didn't even attempt the installer from Samsung)
I am not sure if they are working under fedora 8, because I cannot see
these printers in the list of available drivers (using
system-config-printer)
Does anybody have some experiences about these printers?
Thanks a lot.
