LBP5050 canon printer

[sebastien]

Hi all !

The canon LBP5050 colour laser printer sounds not (directly...)
supported by ubuntu (8.04).

My long web search gave this result :
http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0900772407.html

I should install this driver to get it work.

But prior to buy this printer, can anyone tell me if it really works ?
(it is not listed in openprinting.org)

Because I have to buy a colour laser printer, and Ive got the choice
between this canon printer and the samsung clx 3175. This samsung is
supported by linux. As I do not have win, I have to make a choice. And
it will depend on your advises.

Thanks !
Sebastien.
