PostScript 3

[tuffgong]

I've got a Samsung ML-6060 and apparently need a PS3 card upgrade to print certain documents and forms.

Those things go for like $140.

Can't I just buy a whole new laser printer for LESS than that?

Some of the Lexmark models have a very good PostScript compatible language but IDK if it is PS3 compatible - last I heard it was PS2 compatible. It's a lot cheaper than the "real" Adobe PS3 upgrades available for others.
. I saw a Samsung on Newegg with PS3 for under $300. Some of the Lexmarks do have PS3 emulation, but the prices were over $500. You can find software PS emulators - slows printing quite a bit - most versions of Linux/Unix come with GhostScript which does that but I'm not sure about PS3. Check sites like Download.com, Tucows.com or majorgeeks.com.

My ML-2151N came with Postscript 3... Of course, with the network card, duplex unit, Postscript 3 support was built in.

According to Samsung's site, the ML-6060 is a discontinued product. How long have you had it?

To get a NEW laser printer that will do Postscript 3, you're going to spend more than $140. More like close to $450+. Granted, for the $450 you're going to get a hell of a lot more printer, that will do more for a long time...

BTW, check out the buyer feedback/reviews on newegg for the 2151N printer...

The under $300 (on Newegg) Samsung has PS3.

How about posting up the model you're talking about???????? I don't see a newegg link in your previous post, so just saying there is one at that price point is useless.

Thanks for the responses...I'll check this out. I was actually given this printer by my boss when he upgraded.

I use it only at home so I don't really need major updating. It's connected to a print server and I share it with 3 computers.

As long as I can get some kinda PS3 emulation I'm good. I was printing an Acrobat form for someone and most of the text didn't show up.
