I hope to god any prospective new Linux user doesn't listen to your, yet 
again, incorrect and ill informed umm crap.. sorry, but I refuse to call 
what you give as "advice" because its not, its wrong, plain and simple 
wrong, and misinformed crap.

You even admit you're wrong by contradicting yourself because (the 
only thing you did get right) is there is about 100 or more types of 
printer modules out there, but as you also admit you've not tried them all,
FFS Karl, unless you can speak authoritatively on something, just don't, 
people like you are what does more damage to Linux than anything 
micro$lop could do.

But that hasn't worked out well at all.  Opening anything from the,
"Places," menu requires me to enter my password and opens it as root.
Opening any of the same places with pcmanfm (or nautilus opened any
other way than by invoking the, "Places," menu) opens them correctly

Re: What is your price on a low-cost LINIX printer?


	It needs to be said that people who write editors, or have 
pictures they want to print on a printer have a standard 
output. This is not what a printer wants.

	The printer wants a "standard input" that is defined in 
detail. And the printers from China and Japan and a few from 
the USA all need this "standard input".

	What is needed is a format changer in our computer, that 
takes the file from the editor in it's form and converts it to 
what the printer requires. This software is called "cups" in 
Ubuntu. I know only that cups works. I print things and it works.

	Since cups puts out the proper "standard input", which all 
the new printer hardware must have, it's easy to see that all 
new printer hardware will work with Ubuntu.

	So if your poor, go to Target or Wal Mart and buy their 
cheapest printer. If your rich buy a color laser printer. If 
your me buy a black and white laser printer.

	The cheapest printer is an ink-jet type. Be prepared to spend 
a lot of money for ink. Or learn to fill your own ink holders.

	My Wal Mart Brother HL-1440 Laser Printer has cost me $45.00 
for one new black ink container. I have used this printer hard 
for 4 years so far. I think new laser printers are quite cheap 
now, like $80.00.
