Good choice for Laser color printers for RHEL 5 CUPS

[George Magklaras]

Hi folks,

We centralize our printing facilities using the RHEL 5 CUPS system (the 
default version that RHEL wears, not the most recent one) and we 
generally find it OK. We are mainly an HP print shop, having success 
with the 4### Laserjet series on b&w and we used for the last 5 years 
the 4600DN for color laser printing. Obviously, we need to start 
replacing them, as they start showing their age and hence the question: 
What's your suggestion for selecting good laser printers, fully 
compatible with the RHEL 5 CUPS system (I have looked at the drivers and 
HCL lists, but I am after opinions from people who use them). Any 
opinions about non HP printers that meet those criteria are also welcome.

PS: The recommended monthly output of the 4600 DN was approx. 85000 
pages. We would like to keep that as a targer as our folks print a lot.


GM
