I intend to purchase a wireless printer for our home network. We use
Ubuntu 12.04, Peppermint 3 and Windows 7. Was thinking about the HP
Officejet Pro 8600 and wonder if anyone has some experience they can share.
Thanks,

email whatever you needed to print to it and it will print it (after a

That sounds weird that it won't print OO docs Boden, my HP's have always
printed any type of document. Do you have hp-lip installed?
Rather than wait for the mods, here is what I posted earlier:
I only use HP printers because I find they have the best support for
Linux and a system tray app
It prints OO docs fine, but it won't accept them as printable if you email
the document to the printer instead of printing directly from the PC.

That makes sense.I think. :-)
It seems quite bizarre that HP doesn't support OpenOffice docs in it's
ePrint capability (I checked the wiki and some forums and you are
correct, although many complain about it) but it does support them when
sending to it's ePrint Public Printing
