Hi. We need to replace an all-in-one printer-scanner, a HP Deskjet 3054A.
Based on past experience, I am favoring HP, because AFAIK they mostly play fair about Libre drivers, and their ink is too expensive but not insanely so. The HP OfficeJet 8012 seems the most interesting available at my preferred vendor (LDLC). As far as I can see, it would be supported through driverless printing and sane-hpaio. Am I mistaken? The vendor has other models has other models by Epson, Canon and Brother. I remember these brands have caused trouble to users of Libre software, unlike HP who develops its own Libre tools. I want to buy according to my ethics. Has one of them turned its policy around enough to warrant considering it? Is there any other remark you may want to do about it? (If your remark is along the lines: "not inkjet, laser" or "not all-in-one, separate devices", save your time, I have already heard the arguments and I know the constraints I am working with.) Thanks in advance. Regards, -- Nicolas George
