Re: need help on supported printers

Jesper,
I recently bought a Lexmark C522N (has both PS and PCL emulations) -
runs fine over a network using the standard postscript driver (I'm using
FC4 on my laptop) - the only snag is that I couldn't get my W98  PC to
see it as a 'network' printer - but it does work from the W98 pc via
USB. The printer has both ethernet and USB connections (I have not tried
USB via Linux as yet though)
So far the printer is proving pretty good - comes with 1500 page of
toner - good quality print and fast in both colour and mono

....and with the current UK cash back offer, the printer was cheaper
than my old Epson 740 (I got fed up wasting more ink cleaning the heads
than printing)...
 
The only drawback is its size and the fact that it sounds like a Jumbo
jet as it powers up....(and all the lights in the house go dim ;-))
