General Questions

In the Ricoh forum, because Lanier is one of the Ricoh brands.

Where can I find a **table** of working Lanier printers?

How well does Lanier **support** free software?

Lanier is a Ricoh brand, therefore the Unix/Linux support for the Lanier printers comes primarily from Ricoh and this support is excellent. See also the Ricoh FAQ.

Also Ulrich Wehner from Lanier does excellent work. He answers user questions on the openprinting.org forums and provides test PPDs/scripts/drivers/instructions to the users, before they get released on openprinting.org.
