[kwlug-disc] Laser Multifunction with feeder under Linux?

[L.D. Paniak]

I had a Lexmark colour printer that was used so infrequently that the
toner dried out and was unusable after only a few dozens of pages.

I'm not sure if it is recommended to regularly "exercise" a laser
printer, but I think it might be a good idea.
