[mdlug] HP printer working well

[David Lane]

Yes, I had lots of problems with other printers.  

Yet there were 2 successes that I Experenced.

1.  Suse 7.0 a few years ago.  I loaded Suse 7.0 on an older IBM I was working on a project and I added a networked printer Xerox and it worked I just put in a like model because that one printer was not on the list.

2. I had Suse 10.3 and needed to print.  The Canon and lexmark printers that I had did not work.  So there was this HP DJ1415  At Big Lots. It worked great. 

I even saw an HP tool for Linux.  

I just wish it was that easy for WiFi Cards.

I like that HP specifically makes Linux drivers available for most of
their printers and updates them. My parents old printer died, and
looking at circular deals, I had them pick up an HP C5580; the printer
itself worked out of the box, my father (who's not a computer type) had
no trouble. The scanner didn't work at first (they're running an older
Ubuntu) but I was able to download and install the latest HP Linux
drivers and it was quite straightforward.

Just offering a datapoint.

Sincerely,

Ray Ingles                                            (313) 227-2317
