printer and Fedora support.
I'm having to replace my 5-year old desktop printer. Like any good project, I start
with requirements!
1. desktop printer.
2. the manufacturer provides real support for the printer running on Fedora as well as
windows-7.
3. has printing, scanning, and copying.
4. color and black-and-white, colors are correct when printing from Fedora as well as when
from windows-7.
5. at least 600 dpi.
6. USB cable connection (not ethernet or wi-fi) between printer and workstation's
tower.
7. either laser or LED, not ink-jet (I'm in a very low-humidity climate).
I am especially concerned with requirement #1, and that's why I'm asking this
list. What fulfils all the above requirements?
Support needs to be more than simply providing a driver for me to download. The at least
600 DPI has to be real, not merely "effective", "simulated", etc. My
now dead printer, a Xerox Workcentre 6015, claimed either 1200x1200 or 1200x2400
resolution, but I only got 600 real dots per inch, both in windows-7 and in Fedora. When
printing from Fedora, colors were not even close, but were ok when printing from
windows-7.
Which is better overall: laser or LED?
Thank-you for your advice.
Bill.
