From: Grant Taylor <gtaylor+cola_aahcd041099@picante.com> Subject: Printing HOWTO printer compatiblity listing Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1999 22:28:02 GMT -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Thanks to those of you who reported in when I started this project, the Printing HOWTO's compatibility listing now has information on 176 printers. It's time for round two! I'd like everyone with a printer to check for their printer in the list below and - if your printer is not listed, go to the URL below and add it. - if your printer is listed but you disagree with the functionality ranking, read the comments for that printer at the URL below and send me an email so I can fix the errors. - if your printer is listed as working, but yours doesn't work no matter what you try, post to a suitable Usenet group like comp.os.linux.setup for help. Be sure to provide details of what you've already tried. Home URL: http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi Fast/flakey mirror: http://gatekeeper.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi The actual list of known printers is below, sorted by make and model. There is also a description of the functionality rankings at the end of this message. make |model |func_verb - ---------+-------------------+----------- Brother |HL-1050 |Mostly Brother |HL-1060

Perfect Perfect printers work perfectly, modulo minor acceptable color variations in a few cases. Non-printing functions all work too (ie priming, loading, as well as faxing or copying, if applicable). Mostly Mostly working printers work fine, modulo noticable but non-fatal print quality variations or non-printing related problems (ie, requires windows to load cartridge). Partially Partially working printers can print something in a useful way, but there are restrictions. (ie, a color printer that only works in black and white). Paperweight Paperweight printers can print nothing under Linux. They may or may not work in the future, but right now they don't. - -- Grant Taylor - gtaylor@picante<dot>com - http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/ Cellphone information: http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/cell/ Libretto information: http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/ Linux Printing HOWTO: http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/ - -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/mjr/cola-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.
