That's true, but I got no satisfaction searching hp.com with "K5400dn"...

It also says it supports Linux, if you look in the specifications section in the back of the manual. I'm concerned about the need to install software on Mac OSX, but I suspect it is management software.

The printer claims PCL 3 Enhanced as the supported protocol.

And it supports 8.5" x 14" paper.
