[PLUG] In the market for a printer/scanner

[Dick Steffens]

What are people happy with in the area of printer/scanners these days?
I'm not interested in ink jet, just laser. And while I probably don't
really need color printing, I'll consider it.

Let us know what you end up with and how it works out for you!

Thanks. I'll check it out. And yes, I'll report back on what I end up with.

You can’t really miss with most HP printers. These are generally well supported under Linux in CUPS and HPLIP

(Also in most distro repos). Scanner support sometimes takes a proprietary blob plugin, but that is fairly well automated in HPLIP. I know some here despise HP laser printers but they have never let me down - so far.

Make sure to check the supported printers list esp. if you repo has an older version.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
