We have a SAMSUNG CLP-315 here at the office. I've managed to print to |
| 16 |
it over the network from CUPS, so, yeah, it works. If you want color |
| 17 |
presentable for anything more than powerpoint, though, go with an |
| 18 |
inkjet over the SAMSUNG, or go with a higher-grade color laser from |
| 19 |
someone else. There's no ICC profiles for these printers that I can |
| 20 |
find, and the print dpi is terrible. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
That said, the CLP-315 supports IPP out of the box, which makes it |
| 23 |
trivial to add as a network printer from both Linux and Windows. It |
| 24 |
certainly has that going for it. You'll want to set up two different |
| 25 |
logical printers, though, one for color, one for black and white. |
| 26 |
Otherwise, the printer will engage the color toner cartridges for b/w |
| 27 |
print jobs, decrementing their life counters even if toner wasn't |
| 28 |
really necessary for them. |
