Printer Suggestion for ArcaOS

I have two, a HL-3170cdw and DCP-9020cdw, both have postscript emulation (BR-Script3), hence the use of the PSPRINT driver, do not require special drivers other than SLPR and both work over my local network.

I'll give Brother the vote as well. Running the HL-5470DW model here, duplex, quick and I even managed to tweak the published PPD file and import it to enable controls for MOST of the features. The one thing that failed was the ability for the PSCRIPT driver to run the HQ1200 (so High Quality emulated mode, just faster and obviously less sharp version of the full 1200dpi print option). No problem though b/c for some reason the PSPRINT drive actually handles that one very well. So for quick jobs I send to PSPRINT, for quality jobs I send to PSCRIPT drivers.

I've used HPLIP on an HP M252dw for many years. HP printers work OK. Toner costs are high. If HPLIP can be updated, then the HP is a reasonable choice.
The HP is easy to use to print from my phone.
I see some legacy operations where installing CUPS would not be appropriate. The HP is a good choice for printing with the original IBM Laserjet drivers.
andreas:
what do you think about a Canon i-SENSYS MF655Cdw?
Looks also nice to me..
andreas:
I bought the Canon printer Canon MF272dw. What driver should i install?
Pete:
Hi andreas
What printer language does it speak? - I tried looking at specs but seamonkey does not work with canon websites.
Regards
Pete
