Cheapest monochrome laser printer that runs on linux

[shaunak]

A quick question:

I am looking for a laser printer that satisfies the following:
1. Monochrome
2. Cheapest on the market
3. Runs on Linux

HP Laserjet P1007. I have this and it runs flawlessly in Ubuntu.

HP LaserJet 1018.. runs with the help of HP-LIP programme.. I have this and i'm running it on the system since last 4 years..

^ It has been discontinued and has been replaced by HP Laserjet P1007.

Oh.. I didnt' knew it.. can the P1007 be refilled??

Thanks for the replies.

Anyone know if samsung runs on tux? Coz it was a tad cheaper than HP.

^^ I have no idea about Samsung.

btw, Canon sucks to the core when it comes to Linux support. Rather I should say, it rocks at Linux NO Support.

HP has the best support for Linux and you should only go for it.

am also planning to buy Hp laser printer..whats the price of this one???

Canon LBP 2900 has Linux drivers as mentioned on their site.. All Samsung Lasers support Linux.. I read that sometime ago in Linux for You magazine..

I will always say NO to Canon, whether they have Linux drivers or not. They don't support FOSS. I bought a Canon LiDE 100 scanner and was in a state of "awwwww" when I realized that it is totally unusable in Linux. No drivers, nothing.

HP LaserJet p1007 should be around 5.5k.

Precisely the same reaction here.

I have zeroed in on a Samsung ML series printer.

I finally bought the ML 2245 for 5.2K since it has a separate toner+drum.

Congrats on your purchase.
