Carbon is my primary printer. I bought it because I got sick of all windows only printers. This was very easy to install in Linux. You only need lpr and magicfilter installed.

sudo bash
dselect select
  (select lpr + magicfilter)
dselect install
magicfilterconfig

Changed the 4 Mb SIMM to a 8 Mb SIMM. This means that the printer now has 12 Mb ram. Now I can print quite high resolution things using postscript. :)
