Howdy, all -
I have an Epson Workforce 600 printer, and it's actually a great printer except for one thing: it goes through ink cartridges like an out of control tweaker in a room full of meth.
I need a printer with the following features, and I'd love any advice/experience you have had:
1) networked, works with Linux (the kids and me) and Windows (wife) 2) color 3) fast print speed (not as high a priority, but nice) 4) prefer laser printer, as opposed laser jet
I had an HP LaserJet 4, and it was awesome, but it was not color and it finally died. I'm looking for that sort of experience, just newer.
Any suggestions? Thomas
I have a HP Laserjet Pro 200 and it meets all your criteria.
You will change cartridges less often but they are expensive.
William
P.S. I had no idea tweakers were that into ink cartridges!

When I needed to replace our last inkjet with a laser, purchased HP m475dn printer. Full multifunction with other options. Higher priced but runs beautifully. Purchased from HP direct as it was at a lower cost than I could get quoted at any local shop, it was free shipping at the time. Had it in a week.
We use these printers at work as well which is one of the reasons I purchased it.
Purchase supplies direct from HP when on sale Much lower price than local stores, in some cases, almost 50% lower. We usually replace all color cartridges in a year due to usage and black more often. HP has a three pack of color cartridges for the price of two when on sale. Last time was less than the cost of two at the local store. NO expiry date on the cartridges. They also sell dual packs of black at a greatly lower cost. Usually purchase a replacement pair when we put the last one in.
Cost of laser cartridges are much lower than ink used to cost.
With Fedora, printer works out of the box using DHCP or configured manually. Scanning requires a HP driver that downloads and installs almost automatically.
Full duplex which is needed for all the document printing my wife does. Also as I found out, does full duplex scanning as well with sheet feeder.
My daughter has a Samsung (cannot remember the model) which worked out of the box. Popped up with test print when plugging in to usb as a test without installing any software. She configured it for network printing. I have never seen it. Finally had to replace the original cartridge after a year of university printing.
That's the one.
Made the mistake of putting it in my office. It's so good everyone will use it and send print jobs to it all day including when you're on conference calls. I should have put it in my wife's craft room ;-)

Best luck has been with the HP family of laser printers, esp w/ their hplip software. Most have worked out of the box and toner to ink cost was substantially lower across the year. My last I caught on scratch-n-dent for $50.

It looks like that has been replaced by this:

Is that about what you have?

Yup. Thanks!

So you can scan and print from your Fedora box???
