Hi Richard,
I am a strong supporter of Brother Printers. I have had a mono printer copier scanner (duplex) which is now 18 years old, has printed 46,000
pages and still works.

The colour is not brilliant from RISC OS: probably needs some gamma adjustment as it's all a bit dark.
HP M254dw. A cashback offer made the printer cheaper than its
replacement cartridges so I bought two. Networked & Postscript so
can be used from RISC OS. Not so cheap now. :-(

We have a Xerox Phaser 6600 which has been going a few years, so it may
well not be made any more -- not sure how much use that is as a recommendation!

pages and still works.
The great advantage of Laser printers is that the colours don't dry out
as they are already dry. One possible down side is that the printers
are large and heavy (23kg) but this is inevitable as they contain 4
colours and printing drums.
Regards,
Richard Darby.

This really surprises me. I have a Xerox Phaser 6510. Printing from RISC OS always produces noticeably better results than from Windows.

This really surprises me. I have a Xerox Phaser 6510. Printing from RISC OS always produces noticeably better results than from Windows. I also have a Ricoh beast (a really heavy and professional one), on which the differences are smaller, but still in favour of RISC OS. The colours of the RISC OS prints are always bright and extremely close to the original bitmap on screen. Are you sure that you print through the PS3 driver?
On plugging in the printer via USB and running !Printers a pop-up window appears. [...]

I later installed the duplex definition file (PostScrip 3) from Richard Darby, but the colours were not brilliant from the outset.
I later installed the duplex definition file (PostScrip 3) from Richard Darby, but the colours were not brilliant from the outset.
Duplex definition files shouldn't don't do anything with print quality, unless they also contain DPI settings. For example, I've created 18
different combinations of duplex, DPI and tray settings for my Ricoh
printer. Choosing one with DPI 600 will certainly result in lesser
quality than one with 1200 DPI. Do Richards files contain DPI settings?
However these could be allocated to 5 families covering 24
manufacturers. Consequently the user needs to choose one of five
options to match the printer manufacturer when installing.
I have used an Epson XP-720 with Uniprint & a PC Win 10 64 bit 21H1
connected over network.
For scanning Multi-function Epson printer utility © Ian Hamilton, 2006 connected over USB cable. Excellent quality but then I no long need to
make long print runs.

FWIW.I should have said from my ARMX6
Here RPCEmu on Win 10, 64 bit fully updated, running RISC OS 5.28 and Uniprint will print to a LAN connected Epson XP-760 okay.
Dave
As per usual though, UniScan is useless...

Do you have a link by any chance?
I do have an Epson Multi-function printer so might try it out.

This old hobby horse. :-)
The main problem with Uniscan is it looks for twain drivers for scanners,
but many (maybe all now) scanners especially multi-function ones use
WIP, and these are often use propriety code, I know Alan did add some
code to try and work with the new WIP stuff but had mixed results. My
old Kodak printer/scanner actually scanned but produced nothing at the
end.
