All,
I currently have a Samsung ML-1740 printer. It worked perfectly fine
with my old system with a parallel port. The old system failed in
September. I bought a new Compaq Presario SR2030NX which, when I got it
home, I found only had USB ports. I purchased a USB to parallel cable
and installed splix. That didn't work as far as allowing me to use the
printer.
So -- since I don't suffer from obsessive compulsive personality
disorder and really have no reason to expend any more effort in trying
to find out what's wrong, I've decided to by a new printer. Here's what
I'd like:
* Low priced, reasonable quality black and white laser printer
that comes with a USB connection.
* Compatible with above PC and Suse Linux 10.0. I am willing to
upgrade to a newer version of Linux if that will help.
* Easy to install and set up.
Sorry to bother people with what many might suppose is a simple question
that can be answered by sufficient research on the web. My apologies to
those I have offended. Unfortunately, though, I don't have lots of time
to devote to research on this topic.
Best,
--
