Re: OT: laser printer: HL-5250DN or another one?
HS,

] Anybody have experience with this printer:

] I have been asked to choose a B/W laser printer to buy for a very
] small office. I don't expect it to print more than around 10 pages per
] day. I have also been looking at HL-2070N, but duplex printing feature

] Any comments on its functionality from Linux? linuxprinting.org says

] And, finally, any other suggestions?
Russell L. Harris <rlharris@oplink.net>:
] The feature which matters above almost every other feature is Post-

] ever else you must in order to get PostScript within your budget limi-
] tations.
Harris's suggestion is a good one; I would take it to heart. I'd also
place at that high level of importance the amount of memory that the
printer has. I've found it frustrating to have a printer, PostScript-
capable or otherwise, not be able to print out some of my documents that
have medium- or high-resolution images within them due to insufficient
memory.

Eric
