Any profit at eGay?

confusing rebate terms:

Wow, more buy.com math.

List Price $799.00 - YOU SAVE $400.00!!
Shouldn't that make the printer $399, and not $439?

This is a good printer, but they are definitely cutting back on the deals. I bought the faster (though discontinued) AP2000 from them a month ago on DOTD for $299 (no rebate). It is a very fast quiet, well built piece. It uses standard simms to upgrade the memory. I do not think the extra drawer they show is part of it. (It did not come with mine).

I think they should re-name it Dud of the Day. This has been the best two weeks of sleep I've gotten in ages...

Does any one know if this printer supports Linux?

On buy.com it lists UNIX but on Ricoh's website it doesn't mention any unix. It does say MacOS 7.5 and up tho. I also checked SuSE's compatible hardware list and there's nothing listed under Ricoh.

Best regards,
