Well, not completely OT because I do need one that will work on Fedora.

I have found a number of ink jet all-in-ones that work well on Fedora, from Epson, HP, and Brother. The problem is that I don't use the printer all that much, and every single one of them eventually (after I've had it for a few months) develops a head clog that is so bad that not even the printer's cleaning cycle can fix it. I have tried some of the cleaning kits with not much success (I'm a lousy handyman), and even if I could get the cleaning kits to work, I'd rather find a printer where I can avoid this headache.

So, is there any such thing as an all-in-one ink jet printer that does not suffer from this problem if it is not used regularly? Question #2 is, are any of the all-in-one laser printers any good and work (all functions) with Fedora Linux?

Thanks,

Gave up on inkjets due to clogging issues with low usage.  Went with HP M283cdw.  Color, scanner, copier, fax, and prints from a USB thumbdrive.  There are cheaper models but this one was on sale.  Toner cartridges are expensive but my utilization is low so the cost will be painful once every two years or so.

This model has WiFi connection as well as USB.  Working currently with Fedora 34, Mint 20 (Ulyssa) aka Ubuntu, and Windows 10

I also have an older HP LaserJet 1200 that will not die.  Only got the M283 because I needed the scanner and color.
