Title: It's a "GDI" Winprinter, no PCL5, no color postscript, get the 2350en
Review: We run a office LAN where there are Windows machines mixed with an increasing number of Apple Macs and Linux desktops, and also a couple of Unix servers.We needed a color laser printer that speaks "standards", either PCL5 or PostScript. Well, we quickly found out that the 2430DL speaks no standard. It's a "GDI Printer" which are also dubbed "winprinter", as it implements the windows GDI on the drivers. There are some linux drivers for "GDI" but they're experimental at best. And Microsoft gets a piece of the action for the GDI code in the printer. So they win both ways... the printer manufacturer pays them, and the consumer gets a piece of junk guaranteed to work perfectly only in windows.We traded this printer back to a 2350EN model which is a true laser, doing PCL5 and color postscript, and as such, instantly compatible with almost every operating system on Earth, and certainly all in our office.
