[Cialug] Printers

[David Bierce]

I too have the 1710n at home.  It is a pretty good printer with  
reasonable toner cost.

I've made a promise to never use USB/Parallel printers again and it  
has been great for compatibility.

I've set up dozens of HP and Dell printers without a hitch using LPR  
on Linux for network print serving.
