I'm looking to buy a Laser Printer that will work great in Fedora, in the price range of $200 - $400 price range. any recommendations ?
Don't want any more Samsung printers they don't care about Linux support.

My Brother HL 2040 works fine, but I bought it a long time ago, they may not make that model any longer.

Your right, I do need to know of any late models.

This one is great - http://www.brother-usa.com/Printer/ModelDetail/1/HL2270DW/spec
I suppose it is a successor to that line.

Yea, I went back and took a look at the Brother web site, and they actually list Linux explicitly as a compatible OS in their specs (at least for the couple of printers I looked at). That's practically a ringing endorsement since it sure seems like most linux compatible devices don't actually mention linux anywhere even though they do work if you try them :-).

Brother does include Linux support, but their PostScript or their Linux driver has a bug that they've never fixed (at least for my 5250DN). One example bug is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795824. This has not been fixed.
I also have an HP OfficeJet 8600 all-in-one and that seems to work well.

One note: some Brother printers don't work without a binary-only driver downloaded from Brother (that is 32-bit only).
If you want to look at Fedora compatibility out-of-the-box, pull up the "add new printer" dialog and look at the list. IIRC you can tell it you are installing a printer on a parallel port or something like that to get it to let you to the "select a make/model" phase.

I've got an old Brother HL2070N laser printer that originally cost around a hundred bucks. it "just works", mostly, without even using brother's linux drivers. I say mostly, because you kinda have to try the various drivers that Cups offers, for that printer, since some of them DON'T work (very well, or at all). but pick the right one and it works beautifully.
I'll assume that their other/newer products would work as well.

*assume* Unfortunately this is an accurate description. With CUPS, selecting the right printer has always been risky, too many elements constantly changed, side by side with an outdated manufacturers drivers. An especially with the ever changing Fedora. Fairest would be to leave the choice to the OP. One I can recommend, the PostScript printer.

I totally agree with you Poma this changing of Library files that affect printing and manf. like Samsung that make one driver for Linux and won't update their drivers because they don't want to support Linux,because they don't see Linux as viable on the Desktop, they just can't accept the reality that Linux is bigger than they think, Linux has total control over the Internet servers and many large companies. The problem is there is no real way to gauge how many Linux installations are out there.
I can say I will never buy another Samsung Printer even tho I agree they make a very good printer.

If you meant *color* model at the first place, only those at the top offers are worth mentioning, i.e. CLP-[567][5678][058] - the *true* PostScript printers, not GDI or similar ones, whatever wire protocol are used. But for your budget they are too much, and not only from that manufacturer. What comes to my mind, you can try with printing from an virtual machine on which you current printer work, at least until a better solution can be found.

If the virtualizer on the *host* OS support such *guest*, why not. Heh, I thought of the Fedora 18 as host and e.g. CentOS 6.4 as guest(virtual), but whatever suits you best.

I don't think you have to do that. Lots of printers work with Linux now. As I read the lists, and look at the Linux compatibility charts, I am thinking that HP is a pretty sure bet--but do look at the compatibility listings. FWIW, I have an "ancient" HP 2200D, which I have converted to dn by adding an HP digital interface card, and it works nicely with Linux. AAMOF, I had more trouble getting it to play on the network with Windows 7!

I would think you would be happier running Win7 under Linux in a VM, but be sure your computers support hardware virtualization rather than just paravirtualized operation. Next info is "in most cases" stuff, use as a starting point: Intel i7 - hardware VM and hyperthreading (SMT) Intel i5 - hardware VM Intel i3 - multi-core, all single threaded, non-VM AMD - all multi-core 64bit seem to do hardware VM
You can boot a Live CD from CD/USB and look in /proc/cpuinfo at the CPU flags.
Note that I have had zero issue running XP in a VM, Win7 there are install tricks, ask someone else who has the latest.
Other note, you can run your printer in Linux and use SAMBA to make it available to Windows running in a VM. Read up on that, I found it while doing something else, no notes worth sharing.

I have used a lot of HP printers because they use Postscript and their own graphics language which is also supported, and because I've had good luck with their scanners working, and they seem pretty reliable, and HP keeps the toner available for a long time. If you just want b/w the 1320 has been good to me.
I have a lot of other HP stuff working with Linux, an old SCSI scanner (legal size, not letter), and one of their big 11x17 printers for large stuff.

Bill, thanks for the tips, but I am fine with all printers I manage. And yes, PostScript printers are the true printers. Problematic are a brand new models, not the old proven horses. ;)

I have a HP LaserJet-CM1415fnw which is a color laser all-in-one scanner, printer, copier, fax and was in your price range. Wireless printing works fine from linux with the hp and cups software. It's not a speed demon and the paper tray isn't very large so wouldn't be too good in a busy office.
Before the HP, I had a cheap Samsung, ML1510, if I remember correctly. It cost about the same as the toner cartridge. Used it with linux till it died. I believe they had a linux file on their CD but I just used cups. Haven't tried any new models though. Fred

Hey, don't be so quick to diss on Samsung. They were among the first manufacturers to support Linux, even if they don't do it open source.
I've got a Samsung ML-1740 that has worked flawlessly with multiple flavors of Linux, including several Fedora releases. About the only problem I've ever had with it is a cups filter that was installed with incorrect ownership permissions. I'm not sure that was Samsung's fault.
I would also recommend that you get and HP printer. They don't support Linux at all, but they do support the HPLip project and they also produce good quality prints.

Check the cups filter chain for correct ownership and permissions. Set it up in debug mode and look for clues as to what's hanging it up. I fought with it for quite a while on one distribution, I don't remember which one, that had a problem with the filter chain. The issue may have been caused by the distribution, not the Samsung driver. YMMV

one might go to whatever menu item on your system, maybe system/admin/printing, or something to that effect depending on what desktop you are using. Select the problem printer, try to send a test print to it. When said test print fails to appear then look for a button or check box that says something like, "Did the test print work?". Say no it didn't and then look for a place to enable debut mode.
It's very unlikely that I have the same desktop DE that you have so I can not be any more specific as the the steps required.
Also check the cups logs for clues.
[mlapier@mushroom ~]$ locate cups | grep log
Another thing that can affect printing is which packages you have installed. At some point fedora (suffering from acute malignant optimism) seemed to get the idea that gutenprint was an adequate replacement for foomatic, so they stopped including foomatic by default, but the foomatic package is still available in the repos, and every printer I've ever tried has always worked better with foomatic than with gutenprint.

There has got to be something very Simple going on.
Check the cups filter chain for correct ownership and permissions. Set it up in debug mode and look for clues as to what's hanging it up. I fought with it for quite a while on one distribution, I don't remember which one, that had a problem with the filter chain. The issue may have been caused by the distribution, not the Samsung driver. YMMV

Check that rastertosamsungsplc has ownership and permissions similar to other filters in /usr/lib/cups/filter
Is should probably be something like:

Here is the Fix. This website let me download the version 4.00 of the UnifiedLinuxDrive driver which fixed the problem for Fedora 18. But in addition to that I had to goto /usr/lib/cups/filter and do a chmod 755 on some of the files that did not have execute permissions before the driver would work.

Jim, thanx for that url. My samsung ml1675 works with the updated driver. Finally I can say bye-bye xp.

The main problem was the old driver not working with latest Fedora 18.
This Website had a version 4,00 of the UnifiedLinuxDriver that did a better job than the older driver.

Anything by HP with PCL5 support and a network port (Ethernet RJ45 LAN) will be an open standards/protocols printer and useable by any linux distro (or even unix) with a minimum of effort, usually out of the box.
