printer

[Amichai Rotman]

I know Brother support Linux. I recommend Laser printers, if you don't do
much printing. I now prefer Samsung printers. usually works out of the box
- no additional software needed (at least in Ubuntu).
I'd recommend visiting the stores near your house, check the service status
(how much it costs to fix and buy Toner etc.). Make note of some of the
models you find interesting and check them against this resource:

OpenPrinting Printer List <http://openprinting.org/printers>

My mom bought the following printer:

Samsung SCX4623F <http://www.zap.co.il/model.aspx?modelid=745898> and she
is very pleased. Haven't tried it with Linux though... This specific model
isn't on the OpenPrint list, but model SCX-4828FN is listed as Perfectly.
This model is the same, just the Networked version.

Tip: Try installing the printer without any drivers first.

Good Hunting
