I have two printers an HP photosmart for graphics / photo.
And, a Minolta Konica color laser jet for text and and low resolution
graphics. Picked up the Minolta at 50% off at Office Depot $300.00 USD.
After 5 years of the signficant other printing off sheet music and my
business proposals for customers I finally had to replace the black toner.
Both printers have worked flawlessly under CentOS: 4, 5 & 6, Ubuntu desktop
and when I finally got around to setting up a dedicated WiFi print server
Ubuntu server edition.
Bubble jet printers are like razors they give away the handles and.make the
profits off the replacement blades.
Of course living in Hawaii everything is more expensive, three years in
Pearl Harbor made California seem cheap.
