An Ubuntu Friendly Printer Recommendation

[Chris Puttick]

Samsung are to applauded for their support, but for a long time (may
not be true any more) the best support, higher DPI than the Samsung
driver, for SPL printers was Splix, which is right there in the
repositories already :)

Canon also provide open source drivers for their own printer language
(UFRII); most of the rest of the laser printer market support PCL or
PS both of which will just work. It is line printers (i.e. inkjets)
that are more of a challenge, I recommend not using them unless you
need to do HQ photo printing; at that point I believe Epson have a
seriously good driver available for Linux.

Cheers
