    Additionally, on the Hardware Compatibility - Printers Section you will find the HP 2500 PPD.6 file shown downloadable for various languages, that also work on Linux, as well as our favourite -> MorphOS. There are a few other printers listed there that work with MorphOS, which you might have overlooked previously, which might point you in the right direction for a PostScript printer. Good luck finding what you want at the best possible price - and that it works when you get it.

    If you buy a colour laserjet printer by post - have the toners removed from the printer and sent separately - in a different pack, with each one wrapped up in cling film, or they will probably spill all inside the printer and then that is a total mess to get it cleaned out. As it gets everywhere, motor drives, logicboards, etc.. I've had that happen so I know what a problem it can be. In fact I had to strip the HP 2500 right down to the bare-bones and re-build it once I had got it cleaned - 2-3 days of a job, and you need the service manual ideally (which is available online as a PDF) to manage it all - probably, unless you're a "wiz-ard" with electronic hardware/printers, etc..
