My gool ol Canon BJC-210 is finally starting to crap out on me and I
need a new/or refurbished ink/bubblejet print for a cheap price (100-200
bucks) that will be supported under both linux and freebsd.
I do alot of stuff under LaTeX/TeX, postscript/ghostscript etc. etc.
I read the Linux Hardware HOWTO/FreeBSD Handbook on printer support
and they only really say to make sure that it will be supported by
ghostscript etc. etc.
Unfortunately the only printers that seem to be listed in the Linux
Hardware HOWTO were older models that are hard to find now-not much
seems to available (I wonder if the author writing the howto is still
showing out of date info. At any rate the Freebsd handbook didn't
really list any printers.
On the FreeBSD side I will check out the FreeBSD FAQ next.
If anyone could point me in the right
direction/experience/insight/info I would be greatly appreciative
I already went to www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/ and it lists
alot of printers for that work inkjet wise
but.... quess what...the best printer there is BJC-210
you really can't buy this anywhere brand new...
but found some on ebay
I want to hear first hand FreeBSD experience with what printers people
are using now.
