If you meant *color* model at the first place, only those at the top offers are worth mentioning, i.e. CLP-[567][5678][058] - the *true* PostScript printers, not GDI or similar ones, whatever wire protocol are used. But for your budget they are too much, and not only from that manufacturer. What comes to my mind, you can try with printing from an virtual machine on which you current printer work, at least until a better solution can be found. poma -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
