In reality it's not, I used gutenprint and a couple of other hacks, but it wasn't really fully functioning, so then I sprung for the Samsung. I didn't do my research and bought the printer for $100, at the time half off, assumed that they just forgot to put the Mac compabitle sticker on it. I have owned a laundry list of HP Printers everything from the mobile 470WBT to laser to photo, all have been mostly a charm with the exception of the Laserjet 1020. I figure a warranty for ten percent of the item is not bad given how nervous I was buying Samsung for the first time. I purchased it at Best Buy, it was just after a price drop so it was on par with most online stores and I got the two year warranty, which was the main reason. Now Im using Jessie standard distribution, with Cups 1.7.5 and I managed to get Gutenprint 5.2.12 compiled/installed with the CUPS backend and added my printer in cups, and it shows up correctly with the canonselphyneo backend and the CP1200 driver and prints a test page perfectly. Overall I'm fully satisfied with the printer. What I like: it's mostly quiet you can't ask for a cooler looking printer it's more efficient then some other printers I have owned the scanning is awesome - it has the really cool light that follows the scanning bar. if anything gets in the way of the tray its really difficult to load paper because you have to take it all the way out the print speed could be better. Installation was simple and configuration instructions clear and thorough.I've got an SCX-4500 I love it besides a couple of gripes: the price is rather high, however this is not the case with most Samsung printers the tray - two gripes: 1. Gutenprint doesn't actually contain a specific driver for it either, but I found that the LaserJet III driver works sufficiently well for my needs. "I have an HP LaserJet 1100 and couldn't find a driver for it on the HP site. The virtues of Gutenprint are extolled in this VersionTracker poster's comment: Certain quality choices (in particular Super Photo and Ultra Photo) were not available in 5.0.0-rc3. ![]()
