Color Laser Printing (cheap?)

I'm going to make this brief here: Samsung CLP 315, retails for under $200. You'll have to setup printer sharing the old fashion way, in the operating system, it comes with only a USB port, which I'm sure is what keeps it cheap. Toners cost less that $40 (the second I wrote that, prices went up to $46) each. Keeping it in the price range of inkjets. Some complain that it's a stinky printer, and it does "Fart" (brand new), that is it's only down side, I've found, and I was up all night playing (and didn't run out of starter ink)! The smell really isn't any worse than ANY BRAND NEW laser printer.

For a more complete review, see My Linux Blog; Penguin Petting Zoo.

The only big box retailer that has it in stock, was Office Max. The others you'll have to order it mail order from their websites. Pity, because Best Buy did have the best price, but not after shipping was added. Besides, I couldn't wait, I needed color printing in Linux, YESTERDAY- and last night I finally got my wish!

Life is good, we just a have to develop patience for it!
