I use a printer exceedingly rarely (I lived without one for well over 10 years I think). So I got a laser printer because I wouldn't have to worry about the ink cartridges drying out. I ended up with an HP Laserjet P1006; which is USB-attached and works ok. Did take a bit of fiddling to get the correct drivers installed, and it requires a firmware upload when first turned on (one day in my copious spare time I'll figure out udev and how to automatically upload firmware); but it works pretty well. Only cost $100 on sale after Christmas one year. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com
