Title: SAMSUNG ML-2010
Review: Samsung ML-2010 Mono Laser Printer is one of those few pices of hardware that I wish I never bought. It comes with Linux driver on installation CD, but it requires libgtk-1.2 because for some stupid reason engineers at Samsung decided that everyone will want to install driver using GUI (Graphic User Interface). Well, I need the installer to also work in CLI (not only be started from command line), and if it does not, I consider it a VERY BAD DESIGN. Requiring GUI to install printer driver is plain wrong, and I'm guessing that this may have contributed to the fact that none of the major Linux distributions include built-in driver for this printer. For those interested, I've had it working in Debian Sarge and Fedora, but Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable (2.6.16-2-686) wont let you install the driver which comes with the printer. Oh well, next time I will think twice before buying anything from vendors who do not understand Linux or do not care about Linux users.
Is the review positive or negative?
