I've been using the Brother HL1850 with CUPS for the last 4-5 Years. It came with the ppd on the CD and cranks out 10-20 pages/min 5-10 in duplex mode. All this time it's been running off the parallel port. The hl1870 has a nic. The only time things get a bit slow is when you throw heavy graphics at it. mario;> On Thursday 08 May 2008 07:40:45 Joakim Fogelberg wrote: > On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 6:43 PM, Chuck Robey <chuckr@chuckr.org> wrote: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > I have been scouring all the data I can, to find printers that do duplex > > printing (that means doublesided printing).
