With the LaserJet 1100 getting old in the tooth, and the kids
entering 2nd Grade, we decided a color printer would be best. But,
of course, ink jets are expensive to operate and the ink runs out at
inopportune moments. So I got a Dell 3100cn on sale for $350.
Color laser with PostScript3. Network and USB capable. Works fine
with CUPS, but you've got to tell it that the 3100cn is a Lexmark.
(Google will tell you which model number.)
The only problem is that it's *huge*, 21"x17"x17" hwd.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
