Brother HL-1440 Laser Question

[Marianne Taylor]

I have a Samsung ML 1210 which I am very happy with.  You have to be careful 
of some of the HP lasers as some of them -- I can't remember the model # 
don't work under linux.  My printer only requires a toner cartridge, some 
seem to require a drum and toner which increases the cost of printing (or so 
I understand it).  Samsung supports linux and I got this printing working 
quicker under COL 3.1.1 than under windows.  Some of the other varieties of 
linux may require more tweaking.  Linuxprinting.org has most of the 
information you need.
