Fw: What laser printers do you like - Ricoh & Linux

[Yahoo Mail]

 Jerry,

    Here is a link to give you a feel for how Ricoh does support Linux
 http://www.linuxprinting.org/ricoh-faq.html#free_software_support

    I used to work for a Large Independant Canon Dealer and the support
"from Canon" for Linux was either slim or none. I did a CUPS presentation
 for Both GNHLUG and BLU a while back. I believe that my presentation is
 still at http://www.blu.org/meetings/2003/04/ But everything I did to make
 the Canon devices work with CUPS and Linux was done without the help of
 Canon Corporate.

    About 18 months ago I changed jobs and went to work for Ricoh as a
 Digital Solutions Manager. One of the things that I really appreciate
 about Ricoh is the Corporate Support for Linux. LinuxPrinting.org lists
 Ricoh as "excellent", take a look at the number of Ricoh printers and MFPs
 that are listed as Excellent, then only a few as "mostly" and only one as
 "Paperweight" (hey, no one is perfect).
        I hope that this info proves helpful to the group.

                           Regards,
                    Vince McHugh
               Digital Solutions Manager
