For what is worth it - I'd recommend Brother's MFCxxx40*DW models such as: B&W MFC-L2740DW or Color MFC-9340CDW. They have the same consumables as the lower (30) models, but can scan double sided in single pass - which is brilliant functionality to have.
Got B&W MFC-L2740DW for my university bound daughter to replace Epson color inkjet - she loves it for second year in the row. She is 100% Linux user too. Downside: noisy to use at night when the fans kick in. Color printers cost 4x to refill .... Bk. $50 + 3x$68 for high capacity color cartridges versus $40 for the B&W printer high capacity cartridge T On Fri, 2016-10-28 at 19:30 -0700, Tom Sharples wrote: > My experience with recent vintage HP (and other) inkjet reliability > over > the last several years has been abysmal.
