Thanks ! good job ! then new comers have the possibility to choose more
appropriate (free) printers. ^^
Thank you for your answer. I will buy them soon (just time to spare money).
Okay, I will just use link the printer and the computer together.
Then, I especially print black-white pdf (texts ; maybe with LaTex
mathematics symbols, music sheets).
I rarely print pictures.
I rarely print in colours.
For example, if I buy, on ThinkPenguin.Com :
- this computer (with Trisquel 6 / 7 / ...) and
- this printer,
will it (be possible to make them) work together ?
The idea is to use one computer with Trisquel (without any proprietary
software) and any peripheral (printer, mouse, external hard
The printer will not work in Trisquel 6 (at least out of the box) because it
requires a newer hplip version than what coms with Trisquel 6.
Ah !?! isn't there a way to make them (laser printer and trisquel) work
together ? I don't want to come back to inkjet printers.
Like Chris said, it will work at a basic level out-of-the-box, just not with
all of its features. To get full support, you can either do the thing he
mentioned to get full support on Trisquel 6, wait for Trisquel 7 to be
released, or update to the Trisquel 7 pre-release.
I have a Samsung ML-1610 (monochrome) - it's worked perfectly with every
distro since the day I acquired it, about 10 years ago. Samsung used to
provide Linux drivers (they still might), but it works 'out of the box' these
days.
Let me make a small correction about support in Trisquel 6 for this printer.
The printer itself will work 'out of the box' in some sense of the meaning.
While Trisquel's printing wizard won't auto-detect the right driver the stock
postscript driver included in Trisquel 6 will work with it,
I've had some bad experiences with Samsung printers. It was with one of the
early low end laser printers in fact. It's the same with HP I believe. In any
event despite Samsung clearly advertising support for Linux, they only
provided proprietary drivers for a few distributions. I believe it
I opened a wiki page for the info that you guys are posting
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/printer-freedom
I think people are confused because the color laser printer in our catalog
doesn't have Trisquel listed. It's not that Trisquel is not supported, but
rather it is that Trisquel 6 is not supported by the HP driver out of the
box, but it is supported 'out of the box' to some degree (at least
Hello, everybody,
On the website ThinkPenguin.Com I see that the only laser printer is a priori
not compatible with Trisquel.
Do you know some laser printers (with ou without color) that are compatible
with Triquel or with one of these recommended distributions ?
Just another little
I don't know, but perhaps h-node has information on this:
http://h-node.org/printers/catalogue/en -- although I have not found any
ink/laser filter in that page.
Thank you for your answer. I found these laser printers :
- 01 : Brother Industries, Ltd DCP-7020 (B-partial compatibility),
- 02 : Lexmark E332n (A-Full compatibility),
- 03 : Lexmark E260d (A-Full compatibility),
- 04 : Canon imageRUNNER 2530i (B-partial compatibility),
- 05 : HP LaserJet

I'd imagine any printer that can understand PostScript or PCL can work
with CUPS (which is what I believe most GNU/Linux distributions use,
