I'm thinking of replacing my HP printers (a mono laser and a multi-function inkjet) with a single multi-function colour laser printer.
The current front runner is an OKI MC342DN.
Does anyone have any experience of using OKI printers under Linux? There are Linux PPD drivers for the MC342DN but that's about as much as I can find out.
Well I've gone ahead and bought an OKI MC342DN, seems pretty good so far. It is rather large but it replaces two previous printers so that's not too much of an issue.
The PPD driver seems to work exactly as it should and installation under Windows 7 in VirtualBox was OK too. There's nothing like HP's bloatware on windows.
