I have just ordered a PogoPlug B01 (Classic Pink) device. While I will probably play around with the OOTB Cloud Engines functionality, I am intrigued by the possibilities of having Arch Linux ARM on it. I understand computers fairly well and have used some of the more popular Linux distributions on and off for the last couple of years, though I am a command line newbie. Yet, looking at how easily step by step instructions are available, I think I can put Arch on it just fine.
By the end of it all, I expect to use the PogoPlug device as a file and print server for home use. I'm not super excited about the cloud possibilities because my Internet connection pretty much sucks. I would still like the possibility of being able to use it for it's intended scenario though (i.e. making your media available online w/o upload)
So what I wanted to ask was whether I should put some extra care in choosing a printer for use with the PogoPlug acting as a print server...? I will be getting a cheap monochrome laser printer for home and want it to be available on the network. The printer choices are going to be limited here, so I'm better off knowing if some brands are more preferable that others with regards to availability of drivers for alternative platforms (Mac OS X and Linux). It'd be great if the Printer allowed for easy and cheap toner refill as well. Student here.
Well that's pretty much it. Great community! A bit small though.
