[mdlug] HP Linux Printer At Big LOTS?

[David Lane]

The great thing about HP is that you can put a printer setting in the Model Family.  And it will still work.  

That worked with Xerox too. 

I'm doing back flips because I am just printing.  NOTHING worked before.

There are some Canon support but I was not able to get my Canon Pixma to work.

I had to print to .pdf file them print from Windows, that is not fun. :(

I never liked Lexmark printers.  The ones I've used had bad paper
handling and always skewed the printing.  Their Linux SDK only
supports a few models.  I'm not sure if their other models require
binary blobs that aren't in the SDK or no independant developers like
their products enough to bother adding support for them.

The only thing you have to deal with is that it does not come with is that you need to get black ink, it just comes with color.

That model isn't listed on HP's support site.  Maybe it's an OEM
model.  I only found a forum post at Ubuntu about it not printing
correctly.
