I just brought home a Samsung ML-2010 laser printer. For
$99.99 (at the nearby Best Buys store) I figgered it would be
a through-away if it didn't serve my needs, i.e., a low usage
home office printer. So I hooked it up to my (spit) windows
machine just to test it before attempting setup on Slackware
10.2.

!!! Not only does the outside of the box say that it is Linux
compatible, but it has Linux drivers on the CD -- and -- The
README file actually says that it is compatible with Slack 7.1
and above !!! OK, the drivers are not open source, but
neither are the nVidia drivers that I use. No problem.

Anybody else using this printer? What do you think?

Samsung seem to be quite good about Linux support with their printers
we have an ML4500. It works a treat and we have open source drivers
(GDI) from Linuxprinting.org
