4.0 out of 5 starsWorks fine with Linux Mint 21

I don't intend printing a lot (which if why I replaced a troublesome inkjet with a basic laser printer) so I can only give my impression from initial usage. It was easy to insert the toner cartridge and connect up a USB printer cable I already had (none supplied). For Linux I tried initially to use a generic CUPS driver but that didn't work. However, the manufacturer's website has drivers for Linux and the two files I downloaded work together on my 64-bit distro.
I was able to print out a text file and also some scanned text with a little graphics from a PDF file. Some reviewers say you can't print a PDF file due to the printer only having 1 MB of memory. If it causes difficulty, I suggest sending one page at a time to the printer (even though the whole document is multiple MBs, a single page will be a fraction of that). Compression of the PDF file is another option. There are websites which will do that for you. On Linux you can use the ghostscript utility and specify a lower resolution output (e.g. ebook = 150 dpi).
