Please can anyone give me a yay or nay on the following printers working
with RISC OS 5.29 (ARMX6):
Kyocera Ecosys P5026cd
Xerox Versalink C400DN
The printer would be on the network, PostScript 3 Driver to JetDirect or
PDF via FTP.
According to the specs there shouldn't be a problem. Duplex isn't
essential. I can't see how you would control duplex printing from RO but
presumably you can select it on the printer.
I'm replacing a Lexmark C534n which has decided not to play ball any more.

duplex setting if required.
I haven't tried the model mentioned above but have used several Kyocera
models (not colour) with RISC OS.
I usually use USB connection from RISC OS and network connection from
PC. I'm sure network from RISC OS would work too.
HTH,

Since they both support Postscript 3 and PCL 5 and 6 no need to do PDF via
FTP, just print vai the RISC OS drivers across the network.

Get the either the Duplex PCL or Duplex Postscript drives done by Richard
Darby available via !Store - they are Free, then you can do all your
duplex and colour etc from the RISC OS side of things.
I use a Kycocera Mono laser duplex with the Postscript 3 drivers works
very well across the network.

I do that too. Currently if I need to print a PDF file that someone has
sent me it's just as easy to throw it at the printer via FTPc.

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that one.

I can remember using a Kyocera printer at work many years ago. It had its
own page description language, "Prescribe".

Out of interest why? I just ask PDF to print the file as normal via the
PS3 driver.

If the document is open I do that. If I have no need to view the document
to write:

before printing it then I just drag it to FTPc (the printer is in the User
menu). Also I guess I have more confidence in the printer rendering all
the fonts correctly, which may or may not be justified.
