Panasonic KX-P6500
 
Black & White laser printer, max. 2400x600 dpi, works Partially
Recommended Driver: ljet2p (Home page, View PPD, directly download PPD)
Generic Instructions: CUPS, no spooler
 

Miscellaneous

Printer supports direct text printing with the 'us-ascii' charset.

Comments

Printing at the full resolution requires the Windows driver.
Ghostscript drives it at 300dpi.
Base memory is 512K; it is very slow. Seems to take regular SIMMs, 4M should help.
This is a cheap printer; operating costs surpass the cost of the printer before 10k pages!
The maximum 2400x600 mode is probably just 600x600 with smoothing.

Consumables/Refills: plain toner, fuser for $200 circa every 7500 pages!
