[TriLUG] Printer Recommendation

[William Sutton]

If you're willing to go black and white (sounds like maybe not if the wife 
has her way), I highly reccommend HP laserjet jetdirect.  I have a 4100N 
that I got refurb from pcconnection a few years ago (at a steal of a 
price), and the thing has been a pure dream under Linux, Windows, and OSX.
