Alright, everyone, the day has come... I want a new color printer. And as you might expect: I want it to also be friendly for Linux users.

Re: Linux Friendly Color Printer
I am pretty sure there a hplip package that most distos come with that should have the drivers.

Re: Linux Friendly Color Printer
HP does really seem to work well with Linux. However in our super dry climate I'd almost recommend a laser printer instead of an inkjet. They are more expensive but the toner seems to last a long time when it's really dry. The same cannot be said of inkjets On Wed, Jun 30, 2021, 11:20 Herminio Hernandez Jr. via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > I am pretty sure there a hplip package that most distos come with that > should have the drivers. > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Jun 30, 2021, at 11:12 AM, Sebastian wrote: > > > > All their printers? > > > >> On 6/30/21 11:11 AM, Herminio Hernandez Jr. wrote: > >> HP is Linux friendly > >> > >> Sent from my iPhone > >> > On Jun 30, 2021, at 11:09 AM, Sebastian via PLUG-discuss < > plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > >>> > >>> Alright, everyone, the day has come... > >>> > >>> I want a new color printer.

I have an HP laser printer from 2012 that is still going strong. Maybe changed the black tonor twice, and the color tonors once. Far, far cheaper than an inject would ever be. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Am 30. Jun, 2021 schwätzte Phil Waclawski via PLUG-discuss so: moin moin, HP does really seem to work well with Linux. However in our super dry climate I'd almost recommend a laser printer instead of an inkjet. They are HP plays nice with Linux, but plays printer firmware games and locks you out of using your printer. I had bought multiple HP inkjets over the years, but got tired of their toner games. I also got tired of dry toner. more expensive but the toner seems to last a long time when it's really dry. The same cannot be said of inkjets After asking on list I ended up getting a brother laser printer / scanner. For printing it worked fine in Ubuntu. For debian, I had to look something up, but I don't remember details. For the scanner, it's a lost cause without downloading their proprietary binary package. I just pulled my HP out of the closet to scan until gravity introduced the glass bed to momentum. I now have a bootable USB drive and a spare laptop with no network connection for when I need to scan. Note, the recommendations on the list were for brother printers, not for brother scanners, so the list did well for me. According to the scanner projects many other scanners work with common tools. ciao, der.hans On Wed, Jun 30, 2021, 11:20 Herminio Hernandez Jr. via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: I am pretty sure there a hplip package that most distos come with that should have the drivers.
