	You guys are beating a dead horse. There are about 100 
different printers for sale at any time and they ALL work with 
the Linux operating system.

	But some are Laser Printers black and others are Laser 
Printers color which I have not tried do to cost and no need 
to print color.

	I am using a Wal Mart Brother Laser Printer. I found the 
exact driver for this printer in Ubuntu 8.02, 8.11, 9.04 and 9.10.
