Hi everyone. My trusty old Panasonic PostScript KX-P4455 laser printer is on its last leg, and I frankly don't want to maintain the beast anymore. A lot of my Windows- and Mac-using friends seem pretty happy with these color inkjets that seem to have saturated the market, and I have to admit they look pretty darn good! Would anyone care to recommend a unit? I'd like color, but the majority of my printing is black/white. The color had better be decent, though. It doesn't need to be overly speedy. 600dpi resolution or better. It doesn't need PostScript, because thanks to the latest fonts, Ghostscript's output finally rivals that of honest-to-goodness PostScript Level 2. But that does mean it needs to grok one of Ghostscript's output formats. I'd prefer a serial interface (got plenty of ports on several machines), but those are pretty rare on printers these days. Ethernet would be fine, if it's not too expensive. And, naturally, this'll go on a FreeBSD system. Thanks. --Sean
