Subject: [DISCUSS] For Sale: Minolta-QMS 2200 Desklaser

I have one Minolta-QMS 2200 Desklaser _Color_ Laser printer for the low price of $400.  New this machine retails at $750 to $1000.  The machine is about a year old and was used by a local business until they upgrade to a Xerox machine.  

I am not sure about the toner levels (buyer beware!)  I was told that the black was low/empty, but it seems to be working fine for me.  Black toner costs $50-75, and Colors run $100-160.  The machine is saying it needs a Roller Oiler which costs $49 from Minolta.

The biggest problem with this printer is that it uses GDI host control for printing.  In other words it's a WinPrinter, and won't work with Linux/Unix.  See http://www.linuxprinting.org/howto/winprinters.html or http://tinyurl.com/2r8o for more info and possible solutions.  (Yes, I understand that this makes it unuseable for 90% of this list.)

The Printer has a built in 10/100 NIC and parallel interfaces.  See http://www.minolta-qms.com/support/current_printers/mc2200dl_sup.htm or http://tinyurl.com/2r8n for more info.

Please email me OFF LIST with questions, comments, flames, etc.
